Manuscript Editing for American Indian Quarterly Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing American Indian Quarterly is published by the University of Nebraska Press and edited at Center CIRCL, NYU's Center for Collaborative Indigenous Research with Communities and Lands. A forum for scholars across disciplines, it publishes work that supports “the sovereignty and continuance of American Indian nations and cultures,” with peer-reviewed articles and reviews of books, films, and exhibits.

Manuscripts run thirty pages or fewer. Citations go in endnotes following the latest edition of the Chicago Manual of Style, and manuscripts with footnotes or author-date citations are sent back. Each submission includes a 250-word abstract, keywords, and a brief biography. Off the Grid Editing converts footnotes to endnotes and checks each citation. You email the Word file to the editors at NYU.
