Manuscript Editing for Asian Ethnology Journal Articles
Asian Ethnology began in China in 1942 as Folklore Studies and became Asian Folklore Studies after moving to Japan. It is dedicated to scholarly research on the peoples and cultures of Asia. The Anthropological Institute at Nanzan University in Nagoya edits and publishes it. The journal is fully open access under a CC BY 4.0 license.
Essays run up to 10,000 words, notes and references included; book and film reviews run 750 to 1,000 words. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, author-date, as in (Jones 1979, 379), with a reference list. Endnotes carry supplementary material only, up to 25 per essay, and the style checklist asks for DOIs for all references. Romanization follows the ALA-LC tables, with diacritics throughout, including place, personal, and organization names. The title page carries a 150-word abstract and five or six keywords. Review is double-blind, so the author's name appears only on the first page. A submission fee applies. Off the Grid Editing applies Chicago author-date and checks each romanized name against ALA-LC. Submissions go through Scholastica.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Asian Ethnology
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 Asian Ethnology.
The journal's author submission and style guide covers length, citations, and romanization. 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.
