ajps-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing an American Journal of Political Science (AJPS) manuscript so it fits the word caps (Articles <= 10,000 words; Research Notes and Correspondence <= 4,000; abstract <= 150 words), follows the APSA Style Manual or Chicago 18th edition, and stays fully anonymized for double-blind review. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

When to use

• Drafting the introduction
• Framing the contribution
• Final polish
• Cutting text to meet word caps
• Writing the abstract
• Aligning citations to APSA or Chicago style

When not to use

• Inventing content
• Generating claims
