Manuscript Editing for Applied Economics Journal Articles
Applied Economics publishes research that applies economic analysis to specific problems in the public and private sectors. It favors quantitative and empirical studies whose results are of practical use, with conclusions that are factual and clearly explained. Taylor & Francis publishes it, and its editor-in-chief is at the Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis.
The journal takes research articles only; letters go to its sister journal, Applied Economics Letters. Articles run up to 8,000 words, footnotes and references included. An abstract of 200 words is required, with three to six keywords. Each paper states whether and how generative AI was used. Submission is format-free with a reference guide; house spelling is British with -ize endings. LaTeX submissions go in with a PDF, and an anonymous version of the manuscript is uploaded. Off the Grid Editing tightens the explanation of methods and results for readers outside your subfield. Submissions go through the Taylor & Francis Submission Portal.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Applied Economics
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 Applied Economics.
The journal's instructions for authors cover length, AI disclosure, and LaTeX. 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.
