Readiness requirements
Review the key details below, or download the complete checklist with every stored source-backed requirement.
Abstract length
- Provide an author-written abstract of no more than 200 words.
- To fit both the article abstract ( 150 words) and “Highlights” on the first page of the published article, the points should be no longer than 200 words.
Show 1 more
- These points should not directly restate the abstract, but should instead be focused on policy implications where appropriate, or clearly and concisely state the main theoretical insights.
Keywords
- Provide up to 3 keywords chosen by the author.
Reference style
- Articlo formats your supplied references to the journal's stored style and checks that citations match the reference list; source validity is not verified.
- Where more than one reference is given at a time in the text, the sources should be listed in chronological order, e.g., “…(see also Nancy Hartsock 1985, 1990; Paula England 1993; Lourdes Benería, Maria Floro, Caren Grown, and Martha MacDonald 2000).” The date of the publication cited must be the date of the source referenced; when using a republished book, a translation, or a modern version of an older edition, the date of the original publication must also be given in the reference.
Show 4 more
- Where there are two or more works by one author in the same year, these should be distinguished by using 1980a, 1980b, etc. The reference list should include every work cited in the text.
- Do not use et al. in the reference list; spell out each author’s full name.
- STYLE DETAILS Spacing: Submissions, including notes and references, should be double-spaced.
- The content and form of the reference list should conform to the following examples.
Figure and table rules
- Keep every figure and table numbered, captioned, and cited in the manuscript. Keep figures embedded; Articlo also extracts numbered source files for the package.
- Articles should usually contain no more than 8 exhibits (tables and figures).
Show 7 more
- Always use the minimum number of figures for ranged numbers and dates (e.g., 22, 4, 105–6, 1966–7, 112–3, 1914–8).
- Use the percentage sign only in figures and tables; spell out “percent” in the text using a numeral for the number (e.g., 84 percent).
- ILLUSTRATIONS Tables and figures should not be inserted within the pages of the manuscript but rather submitted as separate files.
- Tables should be prepared with the minimum use of horizontal rules (usually three are sufficient) and no vertical rules (if possible).
- All captions for figures and plates, including sources and acknowledgments, should be listed separately.
- Where photographs or figures are reproduced from an outside source, acknowledgment of source and copyright must be given in the caption.
- The desired position in the text for each table and figure should be clearly indicated in the text of the manuscript, along with an indication of the preferred size of reproduction (e.g. full page, half page).
Funding statement
- You should declare only the acquired funds and grants that are directly relevant to the work reported in your article; for example, This work was supported by the [Funding Agency #1] under Grant [number xxxx]; [Funding Agency #2] under Grant [number xxxx]; and [Funding Agency #3] under Grant [number xxxx].
- The journal cannot guarantee funding for translation but will collaborate with authors’ efforts to seek outside funding for this purpose.
Competing interests
- Include or confirm the competing interests required by the journal. Articlo checks this item and flags anything that still needs author input.
Cover letter
- Include or confirm the cover letter required by the journal. Articlo checks this item and flags anything that still needs author input.
Author contributions
- Submitting authors should be prepared to submit CRediT roles for themselves and their co-authors (where applicable) as part of the submission process.
Title page and author information
- Include or confirm the title page and author information required by the journal. Articlo checks this item and flags anything that still needs author input.
Article structure and word limits
- HIGHLIGHTS Upon manuscript acceptance, authors are asked to submit a bulleted list of 3 – 5 main ideas or policy implications from their articles.
- Use an en dash to link number spans (e.g., 24–8), to connect two items linked in a political context (e.g. “Labor–Liberal alliance”, “Rome–Berlin axis”), and to link the names of joint authors (e.g., Temple–Hardcastle project).

Manuscript structure
- Since the points are an integral part of the article, the journal will not publish any accepted work that does not include them. “Highlights” should concisely convey the main findings or key points readers would expect to gain from reading the full article – brief background or reasons for writing the article, methodological insights (especially if novel), findings/conclusion, and/or policy implications.
