Manuscript Editing for Police Quarterly Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Sage publishes Police Quarterly in association with the Police Executive Research Forum and the Police Section of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences. It publishes peer-reviewed empirical studies of policing, qualitative and quantitative, with an emphasis on policy research that interests practitioners and academics alike.

The journal looks for papers that formulate and test empirical research questions. References follow APA 7th edition, the abstract states purpose, major findings, and conclusions, and review is double-anonymized. Off the Grid Editing prepares manuscripts in APA 7 and sharpens the research questions so each one is tested in the results. Submissions go through Sage Track.
