Manuscript Editing for Sri Lanka Journal of Buddhist Studies Articles
Founded in 1987, the Sri Lanka Journal of Buddhist Studies returned in 2025 as an online journal. It accepts work across Buddhist studies, including historical and textual studies, philosophy and ethics, art, culture, literature, and archaeology. Contemporary Buddhist movements and comparative studies are also in scope. The Buddhist and Pali University of Sri Lanka in Homagama publishes it twice a year, in June and December, in open access with no publication fees.
The journal publishes research articles, scholarly essays, and book reviews. Manuscripts run 3,000 to 8,000 words, counting abstract, references, and appendices, and titles stay within 15 words. References follow APA Style, 7th edition. A single-paragraph abstract of 150 to 300 words is followed by up to five keywords in alphabetical order, avoiding general terms and plurals. Text is Times New Roman 12 point, single-spaced and justified on A4 pages. Every manuscript passes a Turnitin similarity check, and AI tools may be used only to improve language. Editorial screening comes first, then double-blind review by two experts, with a third if needed. Submissions go through Sri Lanka Journals Online.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for the Sri Lanka Journal of Buddhist Studies
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 Sri Lanka Journal of Buddhist Studies.
The journal's submission guidelines cover length, abstracts, 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.
Academic proofreading is the final pass after journal article and essay editing, which covers Buddhist and Pali studies. If English is your second language, see English language editing for researchers. We also prepare articles for The Journal of International Buddhist Studies College and Irish Theological Quarterly.
