Manuscript Editing for Policing: An International Journal Articles
Policing: An International Journal publishes research on all topics relevant to policing, with a focus on theory, policy, or practice and a global, comparative outlook. Empirical papers appear alongside reviews of current topics, written for academics, practitioners, and policymakers. Emerald Publishing publishes it, and it appeared as Police Studies until 1996.
Research papers run up to 9,000 words and editorials up to 3,000 words, with state-of-the-art reviews also accepted. The count covers all text, and each figure or table counts as 280 words. The structured abstract runs 250 words at most under Purpose, Design/methodology/approach, Findings, and Originality, with up to six keywords. References follow Emerald's Harvard style, author-date in the text, with a DOI at the end of each entry. Review is double-blind, and open access is optional. Our editors cut the paper to its limit and write the abstract to Emerald's headings. Submissions go through ScholarOne Manuscripts.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Policing: An International Journal
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 Policing: An International Journal.
Emerald's author guidelines cover structured abstracts, Harvard references, and word counts. 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 legal editing services cover criminology and criminal justice research, where social science references and legal citations meet in the same paper. Academic proofreading covers the final read. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for Criminal Justice Policy Review and the Journal of Crime and Justice.
