Guidelines for the publication of manuscripts – Short Journalist Article

EuroDefense Joven España publishes, according to its telos or ultimate purpose, both articles and analyses of various kinds in the field of Security and Defence; with national, supranational and international scope. Regardless of the length of the article, its subject matter must fall into at least one of the following categories:

  • Intelligence
  • Geopolitics
  • Terrorism
  • Cybersecurity
  • Financial Crime
  • AI and Data Analysis

 

Objectives and characteristics 

Short journalistic articles have the function of informing quickly, clearly and precisely about a specific event. Their approach is oriented towards synthesis, prioritising the essential data and dispensing with extensive explanations or extensive contextual developments. In this type of text, it is essential to maintain a direct, concise and fully accessible style for the reader.

 

Suggested structure

The structure of a short article should be as follows:

  • A clear title with immediate impact, capable of communicating the main topic quickly.
  • A lead with just two or three sentences with the key elements of the event: what happened, who is involved, when and where it took place.
  • A body of text consisting of two or three paragraphs presenting the most relevant information first and leaving secondary details for the end. Paragraphs should be kept short, avoiding digressions or excessive context.
  • A short and direct closing.
  • Credits that identify the author, his/her affiliation, a brief CV (3 lines) and contact information.
  • If information from others is used, it should be cited in APA format and, whenever possible, a hyperlink to the content should be included in the quoted text.

 

Style and format

It is recommended to use Times New Roman in size 12, with single line spacing, very short paragraphs. The language should be clear and free of unnecessary technicalities.

Images, graphs or tables accompanying the text must include the corresponding source, taking into account the author’s permission to use the contents. The article should be between 600 and 750 words in length and should include two to three keywords reflecting the main content.

 

Sending

The manuscript should be sent by e-mail ([email protected]), indicating the following information:

  • ‘Surname and First Name + Subject Area + Short Journalist Article’ should be included in the subject line.
  • Message: Title of the manuscript

As for the periodicity of submissions, there is no fixed timetable. In other words, the association is always open to receive manuscripts.

Guidelines for the publication of manuscripts – Extended Journalist Article

EuroDefense Joven España publishes, according to its telos or ultimate purpose, both articles and analyses of various kinds in the field of Security and Defence; with national, supranational and international scope. Regardless of the length of the article, its subject matter must fall into at least one of the following categories:

  • Intelligence
  • Geopolitics
  • Terrorism
  • Cybersecurity

  • AI and Data Analysis

 

Objectives and characteristics 

Longer news articles are intended to provide an in-depth and detailed treatment of a topic of public interest. To do so, they should be based on a clear and relevant approach that guides the development of the content, which should be supported by verified information, relevant background information and diverse voices that enrich the understanding of the analysed phenomenon.

This type of article requires a careful style, based on precise and accessible language, which allows for the integration of data, context and analysis without sacrificing clarity.

 

Suggested structure

The structure of a long article should be as follows:

  • An informative, clear and attractive title.
  • A subtitle that complements the main idea with additional data or elements that introduce the focus.
  • An introduction, located at the beginning of the text, which should summarise the essential aspects of the news or topic addressed, responding concisely to the fundamental elements of the information (the so-called 6W’s – what, who, when, when, where, how and why), while orienting the reader towards the subsequent development of the article.
  • A body of text, which is recommended to be divided into clearly identifiable sections, supported by a logical order – be it chronological, thematic or progressive – that ensures the coherence of the story. In this part, the author should include as many sources and resources as necessary to complement the analysis, but without falling into unnecessary extensions.
  • A solid conclusion, capable of offering a final reflection or a significant piece of information that allows the reader to understand the relevance of the subject matter or to raise a pertinent concern.
  • Credits that identify the author, his/her affiliation, a brief CV (3 lines) and contact information.
  • If information from others is used, it should be cited in APA format and, whenever possible, a hyperlink to the content should be included in the quoted text.
