Manuscript Editing for Journal of Drug Issues Articles
Since its inception, the Journal of Drug Issues has offered a professional and scholarly forum on the national and international problems associated with drugs. This refereed quarterly draws contributors and subscribers from many countries and gives particular attention to illicit drugs. Sage publishes it, and the Florida State University College of Criminology and Criminal Justice holds ownership of the journal.
The journal publishes original research articles of no more than 30 pages of text. An unstructured abstract of 150 words or fewer comes first, with three to ten keywords, and each author adds a biographical sketch of up to 50 words. References follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition, with full author names and full periodical and book titles. Endnotes appear as superscript numbers typed at the end, without an automatic endnote function. The running head stays within 55 characters, and tables follow the reference list. Identifying details go on a separate title page. Two independent reviews precede any Revise or Accept decision. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Drug Issues
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 Drug Issues.
Sage's manuscript submission guidelines cover length, endnotes, and references. 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 legal editing services cover criminology and criminal justice research, where social science references and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation and Crime, Law and Social Change.
