Manuscript Editing for Sociology of Religion Journal Articles
Sociology of Religion publishes theoretically ambitious, empirically grounded scholarship in the sociological study of religion from all parts of the world, whatever the substantive focus or method. Oxford University Press publishes it for the Association for the Sociology of Religion. Its editor is at the University of Massachusetts Boston.
Manuscripts run no longer than 35 pages, including text, references, tables, and figures. Citations follow the ASA Style Guide with the Chicago Manual of Style, author-date with page numbers, as in Casanova (1994:53), and footnotes are never used for citations. The abstract runs no more than 150 words at the start of the anonymized manuscript. At least one author must be an Association member or pay a processing fee. Off the Grid Editing applies the ASA citation form and moves citations out of footnotes. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for Sociology of Religion
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 Sociology of Religion.
Oxford's instructions to authors cover length, citations, and membership. 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 covers the final check. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. For books, see Oxford University Press manuscript editing. We also prepare articles for the Journal of the American Academy of Religion and Sociological Theory.
