Kellogg Working Paper Style Guide

1. Please submit the following:

• Abstract: 240 words in English (and Spanish and/or Portuguese, if possible—otherwise we will translate)
• Biography of author(s): professional data, 150-word limit (per author)
• Journal-length article

2. Submission format:

Submit electronically, using Microsoft Word or Word Perfect

• Use at least 1.25 inch margins throughout, with at least an 11-point font size
• Double-space the entire paper—including notes, reference list, abstract and biography
• Number each page of the body of the paper after the first page
• Use endnotes rather than footnotes (it is difficult for us to publish footnotes on the Web)
• Provide tables and figures (in Word or Word Perfect only) exactly as you would like them published

3. Style guidelines

We use the Chicago Manual of Style for working papers and recommend it as a resource for authors. If you use another style sheet, please alert us when you submit your paper. We copyedit lightly for house style, clarity and consistency. Please note the following:

• Acronyms: Spell out in the first instance with the acronym in parentheses; use acronym thereafter, perhaps with a reminder of what it means later in the paper if there is a gap between mentions. Acronyms are usually in caps, even if the words are lower case.

-gross domestic product (GDP)
-Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)

• Names of foreign institutions: On first appearance, provide English translation with original language name in parentheses. If there is an acronym, include after the original language name followed by ‘comma or’

-National Housing Bank (Banco Nacional de Vivienda, or BNV)

• Foreign names/words: Italicize non-English words or phrases that do not appear in an English dictionary, with translation in parentheses following the first mention

-Fujimori governance implied that people should hacer y luego hablar (act first; discuss later).

Commonly used foreign words that appear in English dictionaries do not need italics or translations (e.g., per se, hacienda, esprit de corps)

• Citations and References: Kellogg prefers the author-date system, as outlined in the Chicago Manual, but we are willing to follow a variety of widely accepted styles, as long as you are consistent. All papers should include a reference list or bibliography.

Please do include the following information in your reference list or bibliography:

-Author, date, title, press name and location (for books)
-Author, date, title, journal name and volume identification (for articles)
-Page numbers (for chapters or journal articles)
-Web addresses for information obtained electronically
