Manuscript Editing for Journal of Economic Issues Articles
The Journal of Economic Issues is published by the Association for Evolutionary Economics, whose members see the economy as an instituted process. It seeks work that explains economic phenomena through the formal and informal rules governing resources, technology, and economic power. Taylor & Francis publishes it quarterly, and its editor is in the Department of Economics at Hobart and William Smith Colleges.
The journal publishes articles, notes, and book reviews of 500 to 1,000 words. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, author-date. The reference list holds all and only the works cited, with no ibid. or op. cit. A short abstract comes with three to five keywords and three to five JEL codes. Tables and figures go in separate files, black and white with no borders. The journal uses American punctuation and avoids gendered pronouns for generic referents. Review is double-anonymized after the editor's screening, and the acceptance rate is low. Off the Grid Editing applies Chicago author-date and the association's house rules. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Economic 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 Economic Issues.
The association's author guidelines cover citations, tables, and house style. 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 economics research, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Taylor & Francis and Routledge manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Review of Radical Political Economics and the Review of Political Economy.
