Manuscript Editing for Corrections: Policy, Practice, and Research Journal Articles
Corrections: Policy, Practice, and Research publishes scholarship on criminal sentencing, institutional confinement, community corrections, treatment interventions, alternative sanctions, and reentry. It gives priority to empirical studies using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods. It is the peer-reviewed journal of the Corrections Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. Taylor & Francis publishes it, and its editor is at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
Full articles run no more than 25 pages, and research briefs no more than 15 pages. An unstructured abstract of 200 words opens each paper. References follow the Taylor & Francis version of APA style. The editor screens each submission before two anonymous referees review it. Members of the ACJS Corrections Section receive a subscription with membership. Our editors fit the paper to its page limit and apply APA style throughout. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Corrections: Policy, Practice, and Research
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 Corrections: Policy, Practice, and Research.
The journal's instructions for authors cover length, abstracts, and references. 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 cover offender treatment and corrections research, where social science references and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation and Criminal Justice Studies.
