Manuscript Editing for Intersectionalities Journal Articles
Intersectionalities: A Global Journal of Social Work Analysis, Research, Polity, and Practice is an open access journal on oppression, privilege, and resistance in society and in social work. It examines how intersecting identities and social locations bear on justice and injustice across social work theory, practice, education, research, and policy. The School of Social Work at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's sponsors the journal, and both editors-in-chief are at the School.
Research articles run 4,000 to 9,000 words, counting tables but excluding the abstract and references. Voices from the Trenches, written by practitioners or service users, may run shorter, and the journal also takes letters and book reviews. Grammar, punctuation, citations, and references follow APA style, seventh edition, with the journal's three heading levels in place of APA page layout. The single-paragraph abstract runs no more than 200 words and carries no citations. Up to five keywords follow it, then the journal themes the manuscript fits, in order of relevance. Review is double-blind after an editor's screening. Self-citations appear as Author (year), and the author's earlier works come out of the reference list. A separate cover page carries the exact word count, ORCID iDs, author bios of about 75 words, and declarations. Manuscripts are in Canadian English or French, and AI use for grammar is disclosed at the end of the article. Off the Grid Editing applies APA 7 and sets the three heading levels. Submissions go through the journal's Open Journal Systems site.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Intersectionalities. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Intersectionalities
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 Intersectionalities.
The journal's submission guidelines cover article types, anonymization, and the cover page. 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 social work scholarship, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Canadian Social Work Review and Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work.
