Manuscript Editing for International Migration Review Journal Articles
Founded in 1964, International Migration Review is an interdisciplinary journal for the study of human mobility in all its aspects. It covers the historical, economic, political, legislative, and spatial sides of migration. Sage publishes it quarterly for the Center for Migration Studies of New York, where its editorial office sits.
Full-length articles run 10,000 words or fewer, citations included. Methods, research, and teaching notes run up to 5,000 words, and country or region reports up to 2,500. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, author-date, as in (Massey 2009, 124–27), with first names as initials in the reference list. Footnotes are kept for substantive observations. Manuscripts are anonymized and double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman, with no tracked changes or comments. The guidelines ask for clear, compelling prose for an interdisciplinary and international audience. Strong papers go anonymously to outside reviewers after the editor's screening. Off the Grid Editing applies Chicago author-date and keeps the article within its limit. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for International Migration Review
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 Migration Review.
Sage's manuscript submission guidelines cover length, citations, and format. If you have reviewer comments from an earlier submission, send them with your manuscript and we will address each one.
