Manuscript Editing for The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism Articles
Founded in 1942, The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism publishes research in aesthetics and the philosophy of art. It takes “a theoretical and interdisciplinary approach to the arts and aesthetic matters.” It welcomes philosophically informed work from literature, music, art history, psychology, and law. Oxford University Press publishes it quarterly for the American Society for Aesthetics, and its editors are in the Philosophy Program at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Original articles run no more than 7,500 words, with up to 50 references, and discussion pieces responding to a recent JAAC article run 2,500. The journal does not publish criticism and generally declines primarily expository pieces. References may be in any readable format at submission, but final references follow Chicago author-date. The abstract runs up to 250 words with no citations or abbreviations, plus up to three keywords. Review is double-anonymized, and every figure needs alt text under its caption. Off the Grid Editing puts the references into Chicago author-date before you submit. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
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 The Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism.
Oxford's general instructions cover article types, references, and figures. 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.
