Manuscript Editing for The Canadian Journal of Native Studies Articles
Founded in 1981, The Canadian Journal of Native Studies describes itself as the first Indigenous Studies journal in Canada. It is an international refereed periodical publishing articles and reviews on Indigenous Peoples and Indigenous affairs across Turtle Island and beyond. The Society for the Advancement of Native Studies first published it. Brandon University in Manitoba publishes it now, twice a year in May and November, and its editor is at the university.
Scholarly articles run up to 20,000 words, Indigenous Perspectives pieces up to 8,000, and book reviews 1,000 to 1,800. Indigenous Voices pieces may be in any Indigenous language of Turtle Island with an English translation, and videos run up to five minutes. Articles and reviews appear in English or French. References follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, and anonymized files replace self-citations with Author and the year. Scholarly articles carry an abstract of 150 to 300 words. Each author adds a biography of up to 100 words and a community connection statement of up to 250. Contributors follow the journal's Ethics Statement, its Indigenization Policy, and the CARE and OCAP principles. Two peers review each article anonymously, and at least one of them is Indigenous. Submissions go through the journal's OJS site.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for The Canadian Journal of Native Studies
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 The Canadian Journal of Native Studies.
The journal's submission guidelines cover article types, references, and required statements. 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.
Academic proofreading is the final pass after journal article and essay editing, which covers Indigenous studies scholarship. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for AlterNative and the Journal of Appalachian Studies.
