Manuscript Editing for International Journal of Transitional Justice Articles
The International Journal of Transitional Justice is a forum for knowledge and research in a field that has “fast emerged as a recognised field of policy expertise, research and law.” It serves as a meeting point for activists, practitioners, and academics across disciplines and regions. Oxford University Press publishes it, and its editors-in-chief are at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Huddersfield.
Articles run 5,000 to 10,000 words, counting the abstract, references, and footnotes, and each table or figure counts as 500 words. Notes from the Field run 1,500 to 5,000. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, in footnotes, and the guidelines warn against over-referencing. The abstract runs no more than 150 words and must make sense without the paper. Papers must be in clear English, with technical terms explained. Review is double-anonymised. Off the Grid Editing explains technical terms for a cross-disciplinary readership. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the International Journal of Transitional Justice
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 International Journal of Transitional Justice.
Oxford's general instructions cover length, footnotes, 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.
