eursr-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing a European Sociological Review (ESR) manuscript so it reads for a comparative quantitative audience, follows OUP/ESR conventions, and fits the limits (Articles around 8,000 words including endnotes and references; abstract at most 200 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 8,000-word target
• Writing the abstract
• Aligning citations to OUP/ESR conventions
• Translating estimates to substantive scenarios
• Pruning redundant citations and endnotes

When not to use

• Inventing content
• Generating claims
