Manuscript Editing for Arkansas Law Review Journal Articles
First published in the fall of 1946, the Arkansas Law Review is a joint undertaking of the University of Arkansas School of Law and the Arkansas Bar Association. University of Arkansas students publish it quarterly. It prints scholarly articles on significant legal issues of state, national, and international importance and welcomes manuscripts on all legal topics. Its aim is to elicit informed discussions and give intellectual and practical help to the legal community.
Under the Review's generative AI policy, AI may serve only a limited supporting role, such as preliminary research, data organization, or idea generation. It may not draft, rewrite, or substantively edit any part of a submission. Authors who use AI disclose each tool and its specific purpose, and they verify any AI-influenced material. The policy applies through submission, review, and editing. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. Our law review editing is done by human editors, and each change comes back in Track Changes for the author to accept. The publication selection committee approves offers, and authors hear through Scholastica. Submissions go through Scholastica.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Arkansas Law Review. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Arkansas Law Review
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 Arkansas Law Review.
The Review's Scholastica author page covers the generative AI policy and submission. 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 legal editing services include law review editing, line editing, Bluebook citation checking for form, and journal formatting. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Baylor Law Review and the Missouri Law Review.
