Manuscript Editing for Journal of Political Economy Articles
Founded in 1892, the Journal of Political Economy is one of the oldest journals in economics. It publishes selective, widely cited work in economic theory and empirical research. The University of Chicago Press publishes it monthly, and several of its editors are in the Kenneth C. Griffin Department of Economics at the University of Chicago.
Manuscripts must be in English. PDF is preferred, and the system also accepts Word and LaTeX. A submission fee applies, reduced for subscribers and waived for frequent referees. Review is single-blind. Accepted empirical, simulation, experimental, and computational papers supply the data, programs, and details needed for replication before publication. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. We tighten the introduction and make notation consistent from model to appendix. Submissions go through Editorial Manager.
Our Promise
We will ensure that the final draft you receive is completely ready to submit to Journal of Political Economy. We work with you until it is ready or refund your payment in full. That commitment has held since 2002.
Our editors do not have access to your manuscript until an order is placed. Your draft is secure until you decide to proceed.
Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Political Economy
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 Political Economy.
The Press's instructions for authors cover format, fees, and data. 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 University of Chicago Press manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for The Quarterly Journal of Economics and Applied Economics.
