Article style If yu have nt already dne s, please feel free t visit the site, where yu can see examples f articles already published: Cmpass is used by a diverse audience and many f the readers f ur articles are nn-specialists. Yur article shuld be accessible t them but still have fresh material that wuld be f interest t peple in yur field. The article culd be used by a tutr wh wants t direct their students t a shrt article t use as the basis f a class discussin, by a schlar wh wants t find ut abut the latest develpments in fields that impact n theirs, r by a tutr wh has t teach in an area utside f their specialty. Survey articles will typically fall int at least ne f the fllwing three categries and will prbably answer ne r mre f the questins belw: 1) Recent research and debates in yur field - What debates are driving yur field? What new research has been published? What des it add t these debates r the field mre generally? Can yu put that new research in cntext? Des a new schl f thught r paradigm seem t be develping? Has a new cntrversy erupted? 2) Cmparative lk acrss sectins r bundaries - Are there related things happening in different fields? Can yu suggest cmparisns that have 1 f 11

2 nt been fully explred? Can ne area prvide an insight int anther when used in teaching r research? 3) State f the field - Can yu ffer a fresh perspective n develpments in yur field? Perhaps there are arguments r fads drawing attentin away frm what yu think are the critical pints? Perhaps the field is stagnating? Are students and teachers flcking t r fleeing frm yur field? Is yur area well and fairly cvered in the media? Are there resurces r archives that are new r underused and are wrthy f attentin? Has the field been affected by r is it impacting n current affairs? Length and Scpe Yur Sectin Editr will infrm yu f the length f yur article. It shuld prvide a critical verview f a key argument r cntrversy, a new apprach r area f research, r a recent develpment r publicatin(s). Articles shuld be aimed at academic nn-specialists rather than practitiners f the field n which yu are writing. If subsequently yu feel that the length needs t be mdified, please cntact yur Sectin Editr t discuss it. Abstract Please prvide a shrt abstract (abut wrds) which shuld give the reader an idea f what yur article will be abut befre they see the main text. Optimising Yur Title and Abstract By ptimizing yur title and abstract, yu will increase the chance f smene finding it. This in turn will make it mre likely t be viewed and/r cited in anther wrk. In rder t ptimise yur abstract, we recmmend yu Ensure the key phrases fr yur article s tpic appear in the title and abstract e.g. pstclnial literature. Use the same key phrases, if pssible, in the title and abstract. Nte f cautin: unnecessary repetitin will result in the page being rejected by search engines s dn't verd it. Remember: Peple tend t search fr specifics, nt just ne wrd - e.g. wmen's fictin nt "fictin". S use key phrases rather than individual wrds in yur article title and abstract. Key phrases need t make sense within the title and abstract and flw well. It is best t fcus n a maximum f three r fur different keywrd phrases in an abstract rather than try t get acrss t many pints. 2 f 11

3 Finally, always check that the abstract reads well - remember the primary audience is still the researcher, nt a search engine, s write fr readers nt rbts.
