Manuscript Editing for Environment and Urbanization Journal Articles
Founded in 1989, Environment and Urbanization works toward a fairer and more environmentally sustainable urban world by sharing knowledge, with a focus on the global South. It covers urban poverty, inequality, development, and environment, and it amplifies voices from the cities it studies. The International Institute for Environment and Development produces it, and Sage publishes it twice a year.
Most papers address the theme of a forthcoming issue, with deadlines in January and July; a Feedback section takes innovative papers outside the themes, and Field Notes report empirical findings. Papers run 1,500 to 7,500 words. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style in a numbered notes system with a full reference list, and spelling is Oxford. Papers may be submitted in French, Spanish, or Portuguese, and the journal pays for translation if accepted. Review is double-anonymized, usually by one topic specialist and one regional specialist. Off the Grid Editing sets the numbered notes in Chicago form and applies Oxford spelling. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Environment and Urbanization
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 Environment and Urbanization.
Sage's author instructions cover themes, length, and citations. 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 journal article and essay editing page explains how we edit development research, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Sage manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for Development in Practice and Global Public Health.
