Manuscript Editing for Migration and Development Journal Articles
Published since 2012, Migration and Development takes empirical and theoretical research and review articles on all aspects of migration. It aims to advance discussion of migration-related policy at global and national levels. Sage now publishes it twice a year, having taken it over from Taylor & Francis.
Original research articles run 5,000 to 7,000 words, references included. Review articles run 5,000 words, data perspectives 4,000, and commentaries 2,000. References follow APA style, and every in-text citation must match a reference-list entry. An unstructured abstract of 150 to 200 words is followed by four to six keywords. The manuscript is fully anonymized, with a separate title page and a Statements and Declarations section. Review is double-anonymized, with two independent reviews needed for a decision. Off the Grid Editing applies APA style and keeps the article within its word range. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Migration and Development
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 Migration and Development.
Sage's author instructions cover article types, length, and review. 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 social science articles, and academic proofreading is the final pass. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Sage manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for Progress in Development Studies and the Journal of Immigrant & Refugee Studies.
