SAGE House Style Guide for International Political Science Review

Spelling

Use US spellings Use -ize and -yse spellings The following list shows some common exceptions to the 'ize' rule:

Note also: analyse, catalyse, dialyse, paralyse

Make sure that spellings are consistent Some common US variations in spelling are:

counseling license (noun) traveler/traveling

Punctuation and Formatting

US punctuation style should be used

Follow author style regarding use of the possessive 's for proper names ending in s However, 's is not used for classical names, e.g Socrates' philosophy

Commas - follow author style but make consistent.

Always use Oxford commas in lists:

Italians, Norwegians, and Spaniards (US)

Parentheses are used throughout (square brackets are used only to

enclose parenthetical material already in parentheses and to enclose an author's comment within a quote, e.g [sic], [emphasis added]) Note: there should not be a comma or any other form of punctuation

immediately before a parenthesis

Quotes: use double quotes, with single quotes within quoted material.

Hyphenation: the basic rule is to follow author style when hyphenating

words such as co-ordinate or non-negotiable but be consistent Note down any decisions regarding hyphenation on the article cover sheet

Upper and lower case: check the author's usage first, and make

consistent For specific titles use initial caps, for generic titles use lower case:

(a) Institutions, movements, denominations, political parties

e.g the Roman Catholic Church he has catholic tastes

They were Bolsheviks bolshevism, communism (b) Titles, ranks

e.g the President (referring to a a president

particular one)

the Spanish Foreign Minister several government

ministers

(c) Geographical names

Capitalize the politically defined or geographically named places, use lower case in all other instances

e.g the West, the East western values, eastern culture

(d) Periods, events

e.g World War II (or I) should be used note ‘rationing during the war’ (e) Article and book titles

Follow the style used in the references, see 7.6

dashes

Use unspaced n dashes to indicate page and date spans, e.g 35–60; 1980–88

Use spaced n dashes as dashes in the text, e.g ‘only three – Mexico, the USA and Brazil – occupy positions away from the predicted outcome’

Roman and italic:

Anglicized words should be roman with no accents Common examples are:

bourgeois/bourgeoisie laissez-faire sine qua non

Foreign words - follow author style and make consistent.

Keep author's own emphasized words or phrases, unless excessive

Quoted text: spellings and punctuation in quoted texts should not be

altered If they are obviously incorrect, query with author or insert [sic] (a) Undisplayed quotes

Short quotations should be indicated by double quotation marks, with single quotation marks for quotation material within the quote A full point (or other punctuation) follows the reference for the quote, e.g ‘’ is the most decisive and important’’ (Smith, 1980: 45) US usage means that where there is no reference the final full point always comes before the end quote marks

(b) Displayed

Lengthier quotes (50 words or more) should be clearly indicated and indented in the text

Lists:

These should be clearly indicated in the text, ideally with bullet points

Abbreviations

Abbreviations consisting of capital letters, and acronyms and contractions, should not take full points, e.g USA, UK, MA, UN, WHO, PhD, NATO,

UNESCO, AD, BC The Journal does not use small caps

Unfamiliar abbreviations should always be written out in full when first mentioned, with the abbreviated form following in parentheses

e.g The Confederación Española de Derechas Autónomas (CEDA) was formed

Thereafter, use the abbreviation

Contractions do not take a full point, e.g Dr, Mr, St, Ltd, edn However, the following abbreviations take full points: No., Co., p., pp., Vol., Ch (but use Vols and Chs), e.g., ed (but use eds), et al., etc., i.e., cf (note that this means compare and not see), n.d., viz

There should be no comma after e.g., i.e or cf Etc is usually preceded

by a comma in a list

In reference lists, notes, footnotes and authors' biographical notes, please use the standard abbreviated form for American states:

District of Columbia DC

Florida FL

Statistics

-

-

-d.f (degrees of freedom) F (F ratio)

NS (not significant) N (number in sample)

SD (standard deviation) n (number in subsample)

SS (sum of squares) p (probability)

r (correlation coefficient)

t (Student's t test)

c2 (Chi2)

7.4 QUANTITIES

Money

For currency use the common symbol or abbreviation - US$, £, ptas, DM, etc - where the quantity is stated, but not when the unit of currency is being referred to in general terms Do not leave a space between the unit and the amount

e.g The price of oil rose to US$25 per barrel

The US dollar was at an all-time low

Use millions of lira but £150m, not mlns.

If contributors do not have access to the Euro symbol then it should be written out as 50 euros

Other Units

Where units are referred to in the text in general terms they should be written out in full; where a specific quantity is used the abbreviated form

of the unit must be used Always use figures with the abbreviated unit and use abbreviated units wherever possible - in lists of statistics, in tables and line artwork

Do not mix spelt-out numbers and units: 6 cm not six cm

Units and numerals should have a thin space between them, i.e 100 km not 100km

Abbreviations of units are the same for singular and plural (do not add an s) and they do not take a full point

Use metric units wherever possible

Where a sentence starts with a specific quantity the number must be written out in full, but if at all possible rework the sentence

Time

Should follow the style below, i.e one month, 11 months, four days, 21 days, etc.

Numbers

In text always use ‘percent’ not per cent or % and always with a figure i.e

64 percent except at the beginning of a sentence or a paragraph when it should be hyphenated i.e ‘Sixty-four percent said that…’

Spell out numbers one to nine, and for numerals 10 and over use figures Always spell out a number if it begins a sentence or paragraph e.g ‘Ten years later,…’ In a list avoid mixing numerals and figures except for quantities e.g ‘four 20-kiloton bombs’ but ‘The amounts in each category were 4, 3, 20, and 29 respectively’

Use figures with percent, with units, in statistical passages, in tables, etc Numbers, however, should be spelt out at the beginning of a sentence or the sentence rewritten

Spell out and hyphenate one-half, two-thirds, etc

Do not use a comma in thousands but do use one in tens of thousands and above

e.g 5643, 1298, 14,600, 342,885, 1,000,001

Use the least number of numerals possible in pagination and in dates: e.g 42–5, 1975–6, 1954–67, 130–1

But use 10–14, 10–11 as these represent single words

Decimal points are never raised off the line There is no zero before a point for probability and correlations where the number is always less than one

Dates

Write out dates as follows: September 30 1986

Do not use an inverted comma in decades, e.g 1960s, mid-1930s Avoid

‘80s, etc

Use figures for centuries (except in history journals where it is spelled out), e.g a

20th century dilemma

Notes and Footnotes

(a) Textual Notes

Textual notes are indicated by a superscript arabic numeral placed after

the punctuation All textual notes should be collected and placed after the text and before the reference section Any general note, author's

acknowledgement or brief statement should be the first, unnumbered note

Footnotes to tables should be indicated by a superscript, lower case a, b,

c, etc The notes themselves should be placed at the foot of the table

(below any rule) preceded by the respective superscript letter These notes should precede the source for the table, if included

© Line

This should appear on the opening page of every article, review article, book review section and index and is made up of the following

information:

[ISSN(yr & month)vol:issue;pp.-pp.;ID no.], e.g

The ID no is an article identifier assigned in-house

References and citations

The preferred style for references is endnotes followed by a reference list.

(a) Text citations

All references in the text and notes must be specified by the author(s)'s last name(s) and date of publication together with page numbers if given

Do not use ibid., op.cit., infra., supra.in citations Instead, show the

subsequent citation of the same source in the same way as the first

Note the following for the style of text citations:

1 If the author's name is in the text, follow with one year in parentheses:

Roberts (1997) has argued

2 If author's name is not in the text, insert last name, comma and year:

several works (Coser, 1997) have described

3 Where appropriate, the page number follows the year, separated by a colon:

it has been noted (Bell, 1997: 34) that

4 Where there are two authors, give both names, joined by 'and'; if three

or more authors, use et al.:

it has been stated (Jones and Smith, 1996)

some investigators (Brown et al., 1995)

5 If there is more than one reference to the same author and year, insert

a, b, etc in both the text and the list:

it was described (Shaw, 1988a: 33-6)

6 Enclose alphabetically within a single pair of parentheses a series of references, separated by semicolons:

and it has been noted (Black and Williams, 1986; Downey and Jones, 1985; Perry, 1977)

7 If two or more references by the same author are cited together, separate the dates with a comma:

the author has stated this in several studies (Davis, 1988, 1993, 1997)

8 Enclose within the parentheses any brief phrase associated with the reference:

several investigators have claimed this (but see Jones, 1990: 123-4)

9 For an institutional authorship, supply the minimum citation from the beginning of the complete reference:

a recent statement (Psychiatric Association, 1988: 45)

occupational data (US Bureau of the Census, 1994: 36) reveal

10 For authorless articles or studies, use the name of the magazine, journal, newspaper or sponsoring organization, and not the title of the article:

it was stated (American Law Review, 1997) that

11 Citations from personal communications are not included in the

reference list:

has been hypothesized (Taylor, September 15 1997, personal communication)

ABSTRACT The Japanese electoral system has been distinctive in

its use of the single non-transferable vote (SNTV) Under SNTV three to five members were elected form each constituency based

on a simple majority of votes However, a series of corruption scandals damaged confidence in the political system, and

undermined the one-party dominance of the Liberal Democratic Party As a result, in March 1994 the national parliament (Diet) passed new measures transforming the electoral system into a mixed-member system, combining single-member districts and PR party lists Campaign funding laws were also reformed This article explores the politics behind these developments
