Read carefully before uploading

Posts should generally, with very few exceptions, be no longer than 1,000 words. They will almost always be attributed to named individuals -- attributions to organisations or to “anonymous” will rarely be considered. They should provide sources/references via hyperlinks, not in footnotes or endnotes. No more than three charts or tables should be included. And they should generally avoid headings and, as far as possible, lists. Detailed style guidance is set out in this Guide for Authors.

Authors are encouraged to upload a relevant photo that might be published as a banner image with their article. You must hold the rights to, or demonstrate that you have permission to use, any photo you submit.

All articles and photos accepted for publication will be published under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

Authors who have affiliations and particularly the potential for perceived conflicts of interest that readers should be aware of must complete the disclosure statement below.

Some articles may be promoted to regional media outlets for republication. If you do not want us to promote your blog, please indicate this below. Note that regional media are able to republish under a Creative Commons licence even if we don’t actively promote your article.

You should tell us below if an article has been or will submitted for simultaneous consideration by multiple platforms.

We prefer to receive exclusive submissions or else to republish articles first published elsewhere, with acknowledgement. Withdrawal of submissions by authors causes scheduling difficulties and wastes editorial effort.
