Manuscript Editing for Journal of Urban Affairs Articles
Founded in 1979, the Journal of Urban Affairs publishes urban research and policy analysis from a multidisciplinary perspective for scholars and practitioners. Taylor & Francis publishes it ten times a year for the Urban Affairs Association. Its editor-in-chief is at the Knowlton School at The Ohio State University.
The journal publishes only in English. Papers run no more than 35 pages, counting the abstract, tables, references, captions, and notes, and the word count goes on the manuscript. References follow the Taylor & Francis APA guide. An unstructured abstract is followed by three to five keywords. Spelling is American throughout, quotation marks are double, and long quotations are indented. A cover page carries each author's details and a brief biographical note. Review is anonymous, by expert referees after the editor's screening. Off the Grid Editing applies APA style and keeps the paper within its page limit. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Urban Affairs
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 Urban Affairs.
The journal's guide to preparing your paper covers length, references, and spelling. 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.
