My working theoretical paper for my Critical Existential Failure of Addiction and Recovery is very long and heavily sourced. Aside from the background introduction, are there any tips for scaling down theoretical papers for publishing in journals?
There are some advices that will help you to reduce the number of pages, sorry for interact with spanish and english but there is a text not writing by me:
I didn't have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead. -- Mark Twain
El uso excesivo de palabras para comunicar una idea es un vicio del lenguaje oral que afecta la claridad y la brevedad del texto. Acostúmbrate a ser breve; nadie quiere leer de más, por el contrario, tus lectores quieren saber rápidamente qué hiciste y qué descubriste. En estos ejemplos la segunda oración dice lo mismo que la primera pero es más corta y fácil de entender:
Los suelos tropicales tienen un bajo contenido de materia orgánica. Los suelos tropicales tienen poca materia orgánica.
Los hongos se colocan dentro del Reino Fungi. Los hongos pertenecen al Reino Fungi.
The following are plants which have not been recorded previously from Belize.

At no time did we ever fail to locate the owls. We always located the owls.

Try to make an elongated abstract of your paper, which summarizes the purpose of the study, the research questions, research method, findings and discussion and conclusions, and start from there.
Bonjour,
Certaines revues acceptent des articles longs. Ce n'est pas un problème.
Cordialement
To elaborate on George's input, publish separate papers ,one or each theme and link them through succession of papers e,g, why existential therapy important for addiction; Other models and their relative usefulness;what is your approach to this paper and why ?
Hope this helps!
You should write a thesis as your approach paper sounds like a good Thesis outline.
