Broad topic areas include:
Elections
Foreign policy
Security & defence
Migration
Economy
Geopolitics
Rule of law
Digital transition
Energy
Environment
Health
Legislation
Structure and length
Articles should be between 1000 and 2,000 words. A well-structured article typically includes:
Title
Maximum 80 characters including spaces.
Lead
One or two sentences that hook the reader and summarise the argument.
Body
The main content, broken into short paragraphs (3–6 sentences) including subheadings where relevant.
Conclusion
Optionally, 1-3 paragraphs of summary remarks.
Writing and citation standards
Language. Correct English grammar, including proper punctuation and complete sentences, is expected. Our editors will catch genuine oversights during the revision phase — but proofreading your own work before submission is part of the standard.
Accessibility. Write for an informed general reader, not a specialist. Avoid jargon where possible; if technical terms are necessary, define them briefly on first use.
Citations. Sources should be embedded as hyperlinks within the relevant words or phrases — not as raw URLs or footnotes (except in research papers). Credible sources only: academic publications, official institutions, and reputable media. Wikipedia is not accepted. Quotations must be attributed; paraphrased material must also be cited.
Originality. All articles must be the author’s own original work. AI-generated text may not be copy-pasted into submissions. AI tools may be used only as support (grammar checking, translation assistance); the writing itself must always be the author’s.
