Individual skill
jpart-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing a Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript so it reads as theory-plus-rigor, follows OUP author-date style, and fits the ~12,000-word cap that includes the abstract, tables, and references. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (jpart-writing-style)
A JPART paper must read as a **public-management theory contribution carried by rigorous evidence**,
formatted to the journal's OUP author-date style, and disciplined to the word cap. JPART's own guidance
asks the abstract to state the **theoretical approach, method and data, results, and implications for
theory** — the paper should follow the same arc.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the introduction, framing the contribution, or final polish
- Over the word cap and needing to cut without losing the argument
- Writing the abstract (theory → method/data → results → implications for theory)
- Aligning citations/headings/format to OUP author-date style before submission
