Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Global Environmental Change (GEC) manuscript so it reads for an interdisciplinary, policy-relevant audience within the word and abstract caps. GEC values clarity and rigor that travel across disciplines. Polishes the writing; it does not draft the analysis.

# Writing Style (gec-writing-style)

A GEC paper must be **rigorous and readable across disciplines**. Reviewers and readers come from
environmental social science, governance, economics, geography, and the natural sciences, and many read
for policy relevance. Write so each of them can follow the argument — within the length caps.

## When to trigger

- Drafting the introduction, abstract, or discussion
- A reviewer said the paper is "hard to follow," "jargon-heavy," or "buries the contribution"
- Cutting to meet the word cap (Research Articles up to 8,000 words; Perspectives up to 3,000 words;
  abstract <=250 words)
- Writing the abstract and the plain-language framing
