VI. GUIDELINES FOR WRITING AND FORMATTING ARTICLES.

For step-by-step instructions on how to submit an article, please see our instructions for authors.

These guidelines are divided into three large sections: A. General article policies, which concerns some general standards to bear in mind when writing any article, such as written style and lack of bias; B. Article format, which concerns such things as article lengths, titles, headings, "For Further Reading," and generally the mechanics of articles; and C. Markup, how to indicate notes (i.e., footnotes), italics, pronunciations, etc., by using angle brackets, <i>like this, for example</i>.

An article can be immensely improved if the author carefully compares it to these guidelines.
