Manuscript Editing for The World Bank Economic Review Journal Articles
The World Bank Economic Review exists to encourage and support research in development economics. It publishes theoretical and empirical work on the forces that promote or impede development, with the aim of informing policy in low- and middle-income countries. Oxford University Press publishes it for the World Bank, and several of its co-editors work there.
Full papers run no more than 40 pages in total, counting tables, figures, references, footnotes, and appendices. Short papers keep the main text under 7,000 words with up to five tables or figures and a 150-word abstract. JEL codes are required at submission. Review is single-anonymized, by at least two referees from the World Bank or outside it. Where ethics allow, authors release all data and code as a condition of publication and add a data availability statement. Off the Grid Editing applies the journal's instructions when you send them, including its reference style. We trim to the page limit and make results readable for policy audiences. Submissions go through ScholarOne.

Manuscript Editing and Proofreading for The World Bank Economic Review
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 The World Bank Economic Review.
OUP's author guidelines cover paper types, length, and data. 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 economics research, and academic proofreading is the final pass. 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 Development Studies and Applied Economics.
