Preparing Your Paper

 Structure

Your paper should be compiled in the following order: title page; abstract; keywords; main text introduction, materials and methods, results, discussion; acknowledgments; declaration of interest statement; references; appendices (as appropriate); table(s) with caption(s); figure(s) caption(s).

The text should be single-spaced and use a 12-point font.

Abstract & Keywords

An abstract of not more than 150 words and 3-8 keywords are needed.

Indicate the abstract paragraph with a heading or by reducing the font size.

Length

A typical paper for the Analytical Bulletin should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words, a review essay should be no more than 7,000 words and a book review should be between 700 and 1,500 words.

The typical length of policy discussions published in this journal is 5,000-6,000 words, with a
maximum of 7,000. Policy discussions should address issues or questions of mid- or long-term strategic significance, rather than short-term ‘issues of the moment’ that may not remain relevant after a publishing cycle of 6 months. Policy discussions are reviewed double-blind in the same way as research articles.
Other genres of article published in the Analytical Bulletin, such as interviews, field narratives or archive documents, must be negotiated in advance with the co-Editors-in-Chief, who will decide on the appropriate parameters and review process.

Style Guidelines and References

 Please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style when preparing your paper, rather than any published articles or a sample copy.

Follow the Library of Congress transliteration except for the spelling of commonly used names. Authors may use simplified systems omitting diacritical marks where the indication of the latter is not essential for the research findings to be understood.

 Please use this Notes and Bibliography reference guide when preparing your paper.
