Secondly, the tips reflect writing and discussion techniques that are dominant in the social
science field in general, and in the political science field in particular. However, they do not
reflect all disciplines and are not necessarily best suited for every need. We advise
researchers to review them with a critical eye and decide whether they reflect the discourse
they belong to, or the one they would like to belong to.
Thirdly, these tips are for abstracts of about 350 words in English. If you are asked for a
longer abstract it is advisable to extend on those issues relating to the broader community
of readers or on the subjects in which the contribution of your article is most prominent.
Fourth, you should consider the style of your article. Generally speaking, the preference in
the social sciences is for a simple, clearly articulated argument, without complicated jargon.
This is an explicit guideline in some of the best journals in the field today. We can only agree
with this suggestion.
Best of luck!
