Manuscript Editing for Journal for the Study of the New Testament Articles
The Journal for the Study of the New Testament presents new work on every aspect of New Testament study for scholars and teachers. It asks that each contribution rest on a developed and tested method. Sage publishes it five times a year, and its editor is at Loyola University Chicago.
Articles normally run 5,000 to 10,000 words, notes included; shorter studies are welcome. Citations are author-date in the text, with a final reference list ordered by year. Notes carry only references too long to sit in a sentence. Abbreviations follow the SBL Handbook of Style, section 8.4. Greek and Hebrew appear in the original script in a Unicode font, and occasional transliteration follows SBL sections 5.1 and 5.3. The abstract runs 100 to 150 words, followed by four to six keywords in alphabetical order. Manuscripts must be in English. Review is fully anonymous. Off the Grid Editing applies the author-date system and checks each Greek and Hebrew passage against your source. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal for the Study of the New Testament
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 Journal for the Study of the New Testament.
Sage's author instructions cover length, citations, and Greek and Hebrew. 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 biblical scholarship, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Sage manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Journal for the Study of the Old Testament and Harvard Theological Review.
