  2. Quick-Takes — Weekly during term-time, as well as the Winter holidays.

  3. Book Reviews — Monthly during the entire calendar year.

  4. Debate and Discussion Summaries — Every three weeks, in accordance with the debate-discussion schedule.

Style guide

Pieces written for the Club should follow this style guide:

  • Oxford comma: always.

  • Single speech-marks when quoting.

  • Italics when introducing or highlighting a term.

  • No italics for latin.

  • Speech-marks follow punctuation. For example: Rajat Gupta’s last words before being convicted in court: ‘I am innocent.’

Bibliography and Further Reading

Bibliographies are not required unless citing directly from source, in which case the author is to include a ‘Works Cited’ section, at the end of the piece. No footnotes or in-text citations are required.

Authors should ideally provide further reading (2 or 3 items) per piece. For New Annales pieces, the list of further readings can be longer, as appropriate and determined by the author.
