Individual skill
epsl-writing-style
Use when drafting or compressing prose for an Earth and Planetary Science Letters (EPSL) manuscript. The letters format demands a main text near the 6,500-word cap, a process-forward title and abstract, and prose legible to geochemists, geophysicists, and planetary scientists at once. It guides writing and cutting; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (epsl-writing-style)
EPSL prose has a recognizable gait: it opens on the process question, lands the decisive number
early, and spends its limited words on interpretation rather than inventory. The house constraints
are the **word cap on the main text** (about 6,500 words, introduction through conclusions — re-check
the exact figure on the official site), an author–date reference style (re-check the current
formatting instructions), and a readership that spans four sub-fields, so every specialist term costs
you part of the audience.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the title, abstract, or introduction
- Cutting an over-length draft down to the letters cap
- De-jargonizing prose for the cross-disciplinary readership
