Manuscript Editing for Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations Journal Articles
Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations promotes the scholarly study of Islam as a religious and intellectual tradition and its relations with Christianity and other religions. Its subjects run from Muslim movements and thinkers to interfaith collaboration and rivalry, past and present. Taylor & Francis publishes it, and its editors are at the University of Birmingham.
The journal publishes only in English. A typical article runs 8,000 to 12,000 words, counting tables, references, and figure captions. Since 2021, citations have followed an adapted Chicago footnotes and bibliography style. Arabic, Persian, Ottoman Turkish, and Modern Turkish follow the Taylor & Francis transliteration chart. Long quotations are indented without quotation marks. Any spelling style is accepted if used consistently. The abstract runs 200 words. Review is double-blind. Off the Grid Editing sets the footnotes in the journal's Chicago form and checks each transliteration against the chart. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations
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 Islam and Christian–Muslim Relations.
The journal's instructions for authors cover length, citations, and transliteration. 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 religious studies scholarship, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Taylor & Francis and Routledge manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Islamic Studies and the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs.
