Manuscript Editing for Journal of Planning Education and Research Articles
The Journal of Planning Education and Research is a forum for planning educators and scholars from academia and practice. It presents teaching and research that advance the profession, across planning theory, practice, and pedagogy. Sage publishes it quarterly for the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning.
Research and instruction articles run up to 8,000 words, counting figures, tables, and references; small tables and figures count as 250 words and larger ones 500. Manuscripts over the limit go to review only with the editors' approval. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, author-date, and statutes and court decisions follow the Bluebook in the text only. The abstract runs 100 words or less. Authors write in the active voice, copyedit before submitting, and remove self-citations for review. Review is double-anonymized and usually takes about four months. Off the Grid Editing applies Chicago author-date and the Bluebook rules for legal sources. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Planning Education and Research
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 Planning Education and Research.
Sage's author instructions cover length, citations, and legal sources. 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.
