Manuscript Editing for Global Governance Journal Articles
Global Governance: A Review of Multilateralism and International Organizations examines how international institutions and multilateral processes shape development, peace and security, human rights, and sustainability. The Academic Council on the United Nations System has published it since 1995, quarterly, with Brill. It is edited in the Faculty of Governance and Global Affairs at Leiden University.
Articles run up to 8,000 words and Global Forum pieces up to 3,000, references included. The author instructions call for short author-date citations in footnotes, such as “Belloni 2014,” with page numbers for direct quotations and a full alphabetical bibliography. The abstract runs 150 words or fewer, with three to eight keywords. The journal uses American English and has no copy editor, so it urges authors whose first language is not English to have a native speaker review the manuscript. Off the Grid Editing provides that review and sets the footnotes in the journal's short form. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Global Governance. 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 Global Governance
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 Global Governance.
ACUNS's author instructions cover length, citations, and language. 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 scholarly articles, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Brill manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for International Organization and Ethics & International Affairs.
