Manuscript Editing for Journal of College Student Retention Articles
The Journal of College Student Retention: Research, Theory & Practice publishes theory and research on student retention and attrition in higher education, and gives practitioners a forum for the practices, programs, and services that help students persist. Sage publishes it for the educational community, government officials, and the public.
References and formatting follow APA 7th edition, and every article needs an abstract of no more than 150 words. Manuscripts go to reviewers anonymously, so author information comes out of the submission. Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts in APA 7 and edits until the implications for retention practice are clear. Submissions go through Sage Track.
