Manuscript Editing for Journal of Latino/Latin American Studies Articles
Founded in 2003, the Journal of Latino/Latin American Studies is an interdisciplinary, international, peer-reviewed journal. It publishes humanities and social science research on Latino Studies and Latin American and Caribbean Studies, including diasporas, borders, and hemispheric dynamics. The journal welcomes work on the Latino experience in the United States and work of, from, and about Latin America and the Caribbean. It publishes in English and Spanish twice a year. The Office of Latino/Latin American Studies at the University of Nebraska at Omaha publishes it, and Project MUSE has carried it since 2024.
Monographic research articles run 8,000 to 10,000 words, and thematic reviews and theoretical or conceptual articles run 6,000 to 8,000. Policy briefs, research notes, and teaching notes run 3,000 to 4,000 words. Review essays on three to five books run 2,000 to 3,000 words, and book reviews of 1,000 to 1,500 come by invitation. Authors may cite in Chicago author-date, APA 7th edition, or MLA 9th edition, applied consistently. Accepted articles are copyedited into Chicago author-date. Every in-text citation appears in the reference list, and every reference is cited in the text. Research articles, thematic reviews, and theoretical articles carry an abstract of 150 to 250 words and receive double-anonymous review. Policy briefs and notes receive editorial review. The cover letter gives each author's contact details, the fit with the journal's scope, and any prior presentation. Manuscripts are anonymized Word files in 12-point Times New Roman with 1.5 spacing. English manuscripts use U.S. spelling and punctuation. Material contributions from generative AI are disclosed in the cover letter and acknowledgments. Off the Grid Editing applies one citation style throughout and matches every citation to the reference list. Submissions go through ScholarOne Manuscripts.

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 Latino/Latin American Studies.
