Use when drafting or polishing a World Politics manuscript so it reads across cases, follows the World Politics house style, and fits the limits (≤ 12,500 words including notes and references; abstract ≤ 150 words; online supplement ≤ 15 pages). Manuscripts are double spaced with the word count indicated and anonymized for triple-blind review. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

• Framing the contribution
• Final polish
• Cutting text to meet word limits
• Writing the abstract
• Aligning citations and headings to house style
• Anonymizing for triple-blind review

When not to use
