Should the Editor-in-Chief or a member of the editorial board determine that a manuscript requires language copyediting, authors will be responsible for bearing the associated costs prior to the publication of their work. For manuscripts written in English, the journal employs the services of a copyediting firm staffed by native English speakers based in the United Kingdom. For manuscripts in Bahasa Melayu, the journal utilises the services of a certified Munsyi Dewan from Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), Malaysia. The application of these services ensures linguistic precision, enhancing the readability and understanding of the work published in the Malaysian Journal of Action Research.
