bjps-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing a British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) manuscript so it reads for a broad, international political-science audience, follows Cambridge's house (Harvard author-date) style, and fits the word caps (Research Articles ~10,000 words; Letters ~4,000; abstract <= 150 words). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

When to use

• Drafting the introduction
• Framing the contribution
• Final polish
• Cutting text over the word cap
• Writing the abstract
• Aligning citations to Cambridge house style
• Formatting for double-blind submission

When not to use

• Inventing content
• Generating claims
