Manuscript Editing for American Journal of International Law Articles
Published since 1907, the American Journal of International Law covers public and private international law and foreign relations law. Alongside articles and essays, it analyzes decisions of national and international courts and tracks contemporary US practice. Cambridge University Press publishes it quarterly for the American Society of International Law.
Lead Articles run up to 30,000 words, footnotes included, and Essays up to 11,000. Citations follow the Bluebook, 20th edition, with AJIL's variations, and the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, covers capitalization and anything the Bluebook leaves open. Notes are footnotes, and spelling follows Merriam-Webster's Collegiate. Abstracts for articles and essays run 150 words. Review is double-blind, and the journal asks for at least 14 days of exclusive consideration. The editors' tips suggest that non-native English speakers have a colleague or editor review their writing. Off the Grid Editing applies the Bluebook with AJIL's variations throughout. Submissions go through ScholarOne or Scholastica.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the American Journal of International Law
We offer three levels of manuscript editing depending on what your manuscript needs. Each is described below so you can choose the service that fits where your draft is right now.
Grammar and usage, awkward phrasing, repetition, and passive voice corrected, then clarity, concision, sentence structure, transitions, and tone, with your style manual applied throughout and a final proofread. For authors whose argument and structure are settled.
Clarity, emphasis, and paragraph structure: topic sentences, transitions, and sentences reordered within a paragraph, with every fact and claim kept as you wrote it. Includes copy editing and a final proofread.
Spelling, punctuation, typos, capitalization, grammar, and usage corrected with minimal wording changes, for manuscripts that have been edited and need a last check before submission to American Journal of International Law.
Cambridge's instructions for contributors link the AJIL style guide. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one. If you have questions about which service is right for your manuscript, contact us directly. We respond to every inquiry the same day during business hours.
Our journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit legal scholarship, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Cambridge University Press manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the European Journal of International Law and International and Comparative Law Quarterly.
