General guidance

We welcome all science communicators to share articles with us.
Your submission should be between 700-1500 words. 
We don’t accept anonymous submissions. 
Articles will be made available on search engines and promoted through our social media. 
Subheadings are recommended to avoid large chunks of text. 
Please embed any references to accessible open sources within the text itself as links (no bibliography/reference list is needed).

After your submission

Our editorial team will provide feedback on your article to ensure that it meets our high standards before publishing. We may request changes to your article and we aim to give you any feedback within two weeks.

Please note that we reserve the right to reject article submissions at our discretion, but we will usually seek to offer corrections rather than reject an article outright. There are a variety of reasons why we may reject an article, but we’ll do our best to work with you to ensure high quality submissions.
