gcb-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript so it reads for a broad ecology / biogeochemistry / Earth-system audience within the journal's length and abstract limits. GCB rewards a clear mechanism, quantified results, and global-change significance. Guides style; it does not ghost-write the science.

When to use

• Drafting the abstract, introduction, or discussion
• Cutting an over-length manuscript to the word ceiling
• Making system-specific work legible to a general GCB reader
• Final language polish before submission

When not to use

• Ghost-writing the science
