Manuscript Editing for The Professional Geographer Journal Articles
The Professional Geographer focuses on short articles in academic and applied geography, with an emphasis on empirical studies and methods. It is a journal of the American Association of Geographers, and Taylor & Francis publishes it six times a year. It also prints forums, commentaries, and research notes.
Regular manuscripts run no more than 5,000 words, excluding the abstract, references, notes, tables, and figure captions. Research notes run no more than 2,500 words, references and notes included, with at most four tables or figures. Citations are author-date, following the Taylor & Francis US Chicago guide as directed by the journal's style sheet. Three to five keywords, alphabetized and italicized, close the abstract. Software and datasets are cited with name, version, maker, and DOI where possible. Author information is left out of the version sent for review. Off the Grid Editing applies the style sheet and keeps a short article within its limit. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for The Professional Geographer
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 The Professional Geographer.
The AAG's style sheet covers length, citations, and data references. 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.
