gec-writing-style

separate

Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript so it reads for an interdisciplinary, policy-relevant audience within the word and abstract caps. GEC values clarity and rigor that travel across disciplines. Polishes the writing; it does not draft the analysis.

When to use

• Drafting the introduction, abstract, or discussion
• Polishing prose for interdisciplinary readability
• Cutting to meet word caps
• Writing the abstract and plain-language framing
• Front-loading the contribution
• Defining terms consistently
• Minimizing discipline-specific jargon
• Connecting to scale and stakes

When not to use

• Drafting the analysis
