General Guidelines

Blog posts will vary in length based on format and topic; we ask authors to aim for between 1,000 and 2,000 words total. Please remember that posts perform better when they are accompanied by images and/or graphics, so be thinking of pictures, diagrams, etc. that you may want to include in the full-length piece.

Full posts will be reviewed and potentially edited by the Johnson Center communications staff, but no changes will be made without the author’s consent.

Authors are asked to submit a headshot, professional title and organizational affiliation, and a professional bio of no more than 35 words to accompany their blog.

Style and Citations

Please refer to the Johnson Center’s Editorial Style Guide for guidance.

For reference citations, please hyperlink data/facts/quotes/reports/etc. to the appropriate online source. Where no online source exists, please provide a citation using The American Psychological Association Formatting and Style Guide.

Re-Posting and/or Cross-Posting

Organizations and guest authors are encouraged to cross-post blogs published by the Johnson Center on other websites/blogs. We ask that each post be accompanied by language acknowledging that the post was originally created for and posted by the Johnson Center and that republication be delayed at least three business days following the post’s original publication date.
