Manuscript Editing for Political Research Quarterly Journal Articles
Political Research Quarterly publishes original research on all aspects of politics, seeking work that will “engage readers across multiple fields of scholarship.” Sage publishes it for the Western Political Science Association. Its editor-in-chief is in the Department of Political Science at Cal Poly Pomona.
The journal publishes original research articles, and you report word, figure, and table counts at submission. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, with in-text citations matching the reference list exactly. The unstructured abstract runs 200 words, followed by at least three keywords. Review is double-anonymized. Sage Author Services is offered for English editing, and any outside writing or editing help must be acknowledged. Off the Grid Editing applies Chicago and checks every reference. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Political Research Quarterly
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 Political Research Quarterly.
Sage's author instructions cover references, abstracts, and acknowledgments. 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. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Sage manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for The Journal of Politics and Political Behavior.
