Manuscript Editing for Science, Technology, & Human Values Journal Articles
Since 1972, Science, Technology, & Human Values has been a forum for research and debate on how science and technology relate to politics, economy, society, and culture. It is collectively edited and transnational. Sage publishes it for the Society for Social Studies of Science.
Original articles run no more than 8,000 words, excluding the abstract, endnotes, and references; review essays run up to 5,000. Citations follow the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition, author-date, with page numbers for quoted material. Endnotes are kept for extended elaboration. The abstract runs no more than 200 words. Review is double-anonymized, needs two independent reviews, and may take up to six months. Off the Grid Editing applies Chicago author-date and trims to the word limit. Submissions go through Sage Track.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Science, Technology, & Human Values
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 Science, Technology, & Human Values.
Sage's author instructions cover length, citations, and review. 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 social science 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 Social Studies of Science and Science as Culture.
