jcf-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing prose for a Journal of Corporate Finance (JCF) manuscript — the ≤250-word abstract, 1–7 keywords, author-date (Harvard) in-text citations, and the "your paper, your way" first-submission reference flexibility. It enforces JCF house conventions; it does not generate results.

# Writing Style (jcf-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- Writing or trimming the abstract and keywords
- Setting in-text citation and reference style for first submission
- Final language polish before submitting via Editorial Manager
## JCF style facts (verified; re-confirm on the official guide)
- **Abstract ≤ 250 words.** Avoid references in the abstract; define non-standard abbreviations at first mention.
- **1–7 keywords** required.
- **In-text citations are author-date (Harvard-style)** — name and year in parentheses, e.g., (Campbell and Peden, 2005).
- **"Your paper, your way" at first submission**: references may be in **any consistent style** as long as required elements (authors, titles, year, volume, pages/article number) are present; **DOIs encouraged**. Formal Elsevier reference styling is applied only at **revision/acceptance**.
