Peer-reviewed academic papers and feature articles

Find below excerpted pages from articles I have copyedited for an open-access academic journal. The journal follows Chicago style. These excerpts exemplify a medium-level copyedit, which comprises tidying up grammar and mechanics, flagging problematic writing (tone, redundancy, ambiguity, gaps in logic, poor organization, biased language), and fact-checking. The excerpts also illustrate the tone of my interactions with authors, which for this journal is informal and collaborative.
