Manuscript Editing for Journal of Visual Culture Articles
The Journal of Visual Culture welcomes “provocative, innovative analyses of visual culture” and favors critically grounded work that pushes against established categories. It seeks contributions that explore and expand transdisciplinary global visual cultures. SAGE publishes it three times a year, and its editor-in-chief is affiliated with University College London and the Vilnius Academy of Arts.
Articles run 5,000 to 8,000 words, counting text, quotations, notes, and references. References, notes, and citations all follow the Sage Harvard style. The unstructured abstract runs 100 to 150 words, followed by five to eight keywords. Sage house style uses single quotation marks, with double quotation marks inside them, and dates such as 1 May 1998. Before you submit, you should be confident that image permissions can be obtained, since securing and paying for them on acceptance falls to the author. Review is double-anonymized and runs in two stages, an editorial assessment of fit and then peer review. Off the Grid Editing keeps the whole article within the word range, notes included. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Journal of Visual Culture
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 Visual Culture.
Sage's author instructions cover length, references, and images. 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 scholarly articles, and academic proofreading is the final pass. For books, see Sage manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for The Art Bulletin and Film Quarterly.
