Recommendations for writing notes for the EAPC blog

1. Title: should be clear and creative, to catch the reader’s attention. It is best not to make it too long.
2. Structure: the ideas should be presented clearly and concisely. Paragraphs should contain one or more clear ideas and not be too long. The first paragraph should be a summary of the content of the note.
3. Size: notes are recommended to be a maximum of two pages long.
4. Image: the image accompanying the note may be one proposed by the authors, bearing in mind that it should meet copyright and/or reuse criteria. If no image is supplied, the blog coordinators will choose an image related with the content of the note.
5. Subject: the main subject of the note must be indicated. Between 3 and 5 keywords should also be given.
6. References: links should be added to extend the information as required, and these should complement the content and make it easy to explore. Neither footnotes nor a related bibliography are recommended. These documents can be referenced in the text, even in the form of hyperlinks.
7. Tables and graphs: the use of tables and images in the body of the text should be avoided as much as possible.
8. Languages: as a general rule, notes are published in Catalan. The notes that arrive in another language will be translated into Catalan, and can be published in both idiomatic versions. The blog coordinators shall proofread notes. They may propose modifications or improvements to the draft.
