Manuscript Editing for Race and Justice Journal Articles
Race and Justice is a quarterly forum for scholarship on race, ethnicity, and justice, launched in 2011. It emphasizes empirical research and theory on racism and other structural factors in crime, victimization, and contact with the justice system. Intersectional work from any discipline or method is welcome. Sage publishes it in association with the Division on People of Color and Crime of the American Society of Criminology. Its editor is in the Department of African American Studies at the University of South Carolina.
Original articles run 35 pages at most, and research notes and commentaries run 25 pages, counting references, notes, tables, and figures. Book reviews are by invitation. The abstract runs 200 words at most, and each author supplies a biographical sketch of up to 150 words. References follow the APA Publication Manual, 7th edition. Endnotes carry substantive comments only, on a separate page headed Notes. Review is blind, so the manuscript and any response letter omit identifying details. Tables and figures go at the back, with their locations marked in the text. Submissions go through SAGE Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Race and Justice
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 Race and Justice.
Sage's manuscript submission guidelines cover page limits, notes, and 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.
Our legal editing services cover criminology and policing 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 the Journal of Ethnicity in Criminal Justice and Policing: A Journal of Policy and Practice.
