Manuscript Editing for Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication Articles
Since 1995, the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication has focused on “social science research on communicating with computer-based media technologies.” Oxford University Press publishes it quarterly for the International Communication Association, fully open access since 2020.
Manuscripts run under 10,000 words, counting the abstract, references, tables, figures, appendices, and endnotes. Citations follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, with DOIs as links. The abstract runs up to 250 words, with five to seven keywords, and a lay summary of no more than 200 words is required. A cover letter discloses any AI use and confirms fit with the journal. Review is anonymous. Off the Grid Editing drafts the lay summary and applies APA 7. Submissions go through ScholarOne as a single Word file.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication
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 of Computer-Mediated Communication.
Oxford's general instructions cover length, citations, and the lay summary. 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 scholarly articles, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Oxford University Press manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for New Media & Society and Communication Theory.
