Manuscript Editing for Religious Studies Journal Articles

Order Manuscript Editing Religious Studies is “an international journal devoted to the problems of the philosophy of religion,” as they arise from classical and contemporary discussions and from varied religious traditions. Cambridge University Press has published it quarterly since 1965, and its main editorial office is in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oklahoma. From 2026 its research articles are fully open access.

Articles normally run no longer than 8,000 words. Citations use the Harvard author-date system set out in the journal's style sheet, with a reference list after the text, and the journal does not use footnotes. Spelling is British with -ize endings, and quotation marks are single. The abstract runs up to 250 words. Review is double-anonymized, and submissions that are not ready for blind review are rejected. Off the Grid Editing moves footnoted material into the text or the reference list. Submissions go through ScholarOne.
