Guidelines for Publication
Thank you for your interest in publishing in “The Arena”
Please review the guidelines below carefully to ensure that your article meets our writing style and publishing standards, and that it conforms to the type of texts we publish:
-
Content: Articles should be original, clearly written, analytically rigorous, and offer original, thought-provoking perspectives on diplomacy and foreign relations, as well as policy recommendations where applicable.
-
Length: Text submitted should be between 1,500 and 3,000 words long.
-
Jargon: Authors should attempt to avoid technical language and excessive use of academic or professional terminology.
-
Acronyms and abbreviations should be spelled out on first reference unless widely recognized. For example: “NATO”, “USA”, and “CEO” may be used without explanation, while “Palestinian Authority (PA)” and “World Trade Organization (WTO)” should be introduced in full.
-
Numbering may be used where clarity requires. For example: “The four conditions set forth in the Montevideo Convention for the recognition of states are: (1) a permanent population; (2) a defined territory; (3) government; and (4) capacity to enter into relations with other states.”
-
Block quotations: Quotations longer than three lines should appear as a separate, indented paragraph without quotations marks.
-
References: The Arena Magazine follows the Chicago Manual of Style. All references should appear in footnotes.
