Guidelines

*Note: these guidelines do not apply to essay and idea proposals.

General Formatting

• A new section is indicated by two line breaks and a section title formatted as a heading.

• If including an abstract, please add it to the beginning of the publication in italics and insert a horizontal line between the abstract and the beginning of your text.

• While most JoDS articles are between 3,000 and 5,000 words, the journal is open to accepting publications of various lengths, formats, and styles.

• A single full-page image should be at least 18.5 cm (width) x 26 cm (height) and must be at 300 dpi minimum.

Citations

• PubPub offers the opportunity to include “footnotes” that appear as hyperlinked notes within the text and to include citations, which link to a proper bibliography at the bottom of the Pub.

• To use citations, please include a source’s bibtex, DOI, wikidata, wikidata url, or bibjson.

• All other notes and informal references to other work should be included as a footnote.

• All images must contain an attribution even if they are created by the author. Captions are also strongly encouraged.

Bionote

• We encourage authors to complete their PubPub profile pages with information on their achievements, previously and currently held positions, as well as previous publications.

• Please also use this space to link to personal websites and articles.

• Authors can include a brief (50-200 word) bionote at the end of a publication that highlights information relevant to the publication’s subject.
