Manuscript Editing for Journal of Quantitative Criminology Articles
The Journal of Quantitative Criminology publishes papers that apply quantitative techniques of every level of complexity to substantive, methodological, and evaluative questions in criminology. It draws on advances in statistics, sociology, geography, political science, economics, and engineering, and it also prints brief methodological critiques. Springer Nature publishes it, with co-editors-in-chief at the University of California, Los Angeles and Boston College.
Original research articles carry no overall word limit and open with a structured abstract under Objectives, Methods, Results, and Conclusions. Each manuscript shows the equations for the models estimated, numbered in parentheses and cited as Eq. (5). Citations follow Springer's author-date form, with an alphabetical reference list, full DOI links, and journal titles abbreviated by the ISSN list. Notes go in footnotes, and each footnote carries more than a citation. Section headings are numbered, with three levels at most. A title page carries a running head under 80 characters, and a Declarations section is required. Review is double-blind, so self-identifying citations come out of the text. Word or LaTeX source files are required. Our editors check the equations, notation, and reference list against these rules. Submissions go through Springer Nature's online system.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Quantitative Criminology
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 Quantitative Criminology.
Springer's submission guidelines cover the structured abstract, equations, and declarations. 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 Experimental Criminology and Criminology.
