Manuscript Editing for Journal of Religion, Spirituality & Aging Articles
The Journal of Religion, Spirituality & Aging began in 1984 as the Journal of Religion & Aging. It became the Journal of Religious Gerontology in 1991 and took its current title in 2005. The journal is interdisciplinary and interfaith, focused on the needs, aspirations, and experiences of older adults. Topics include long-term care, family support, retirement, counseling, death, and ethics. Its readers include secular professionals and religious professionals such as pastors, chaplains, and pastoral counselors. Taylor & Francis publishes it four times a year.
The journal publishes Original Articles and Book Reviews. It sets no word limit, and each manuscript states its word count. The abstract runs no more than 250 words, with IMRAD structure encouraged for empirical work, followed by up to five keywords. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. Spelling and quotation style may follow any consistent convention, and long quotations are indented without quotation marks. Each paper is screened for suitability and then receives double-anonymous review from two independent experts. Required statements cover disclosure, funding, data availability, and generative AI use, including a statement when none was used. The manuscript runs in order from title page, abstract, and keywords through main text, acknowledgments, and declaration of interest. References, appendices, tables, and figures follow, with figures as separate files. Submissions go through the Routledge Submission Portal.
