Format

All text and any images should be submitted as an email attachment or a link to a file that can be downloaded. Please take the following format guidelines into consideration:

​

  • Length is generally around 1000 words, but can be longer.

  • For text use block style for paragraphs, single spaces between sentences, and en (–) or em (—) dashes. Italicize publication titles, and use parentheses within text for citations (or hyperlinks to sources online).

  • Use hyperlinks, including parenthetical citations (links to sources) and endnotes, if needed.

  • Images are highly encouraged, and should be at least 72 PPI and 2500 pixels wide. Indicate where you would like an image to appear within the text by referencing the file name.

  • Include a caption and credit line for each image. Make sure you own the rights to publish the images you submit, or they are available with a Creative Commons license.

  • Include attribution information, as it should appear at the end of your post: name, title, and institution.

 

Editors will correct for grammar, punctuation, and clarity.
