1. OUTLINE. Please follow the broad structure below (unless you and your editor have agreed to a variation).

. Opening paragraph: Tell readers what your topic is and why it is important in relation to globalization. 2. Body of entry: Develop the introduction, describing and explaining your topic in an elaborated, organized account. Exactly how you do this depends on the topic and your conceptualization of it. Some possibilities include moving from historical background to current foreground, or from generalization to examples, or from whole to parts. Again, please keep issues of globalization in the forefront of discussion at all times. 3. Final paragraph: End the entry purposefully, bringing it to a point. Here again, particular tactics will vary from article to article. You reiterate and expand upon the importance of your topic in respect of globalization. You might sketch out future scenarios or issues likely to arise from current trends related to your topic. In all cases, of course, concluding remarks should follow coherently from information and analyses presented earlier in the body of the article. 4.

At least some of the works cited should be available in modest-sized public or school libraries. Please follow this guideline for how many sources to list: A length article: Around 20 sources 5. B length article: Between 15 to 20 sources 6. C length article: Between 10 to 15 sources 7. D or E length entry: No more than 10 sources

8.SUBHEADINGS. For longer articles, use subheadings (one level only) as appropriate to highlight your focal points and organizational scheme. State subheadings concisely. No system of notation (e.g., numbers or letters) is necessary. 9. 10. CITATIONS. Encyclopedia-style writing does not use footnotes, nor does it use parenthetical in-text citations. If you are quoting from a particular person or source, please weave the source information into the text itself. For example: "In her 1997 book [BOOK TITLE], scholar Jane Doe argued that...." 11. 12. ILLUSTRATIONS, GRAPHS, and CHARTS. If appropriate, please suggest ideas for illustrations or other graphic displays that might

help elucidate your topic.If you do suggest an illustration, chart, or graph, please provide a hard copy. If this copy is xeroxed or printed out from a previously published source (print or World Wide Web source), please provide complete source information. Keep in mind that we will need clean copy from which an illustrator can make drawings. 13.
