Format your article before you submit it to Knowledge Tank

Follow these points to format your article before you submit it to Knowledge Tank.

• The article should have an appropriate title.
• Not more than 300-350 words under a sub-heading. Create as many sub-headings as you want.
• Every paragraph should have less than 150 words and it should not exceed this limit.
• Sentences should not be longer than 20 words.
• Try to use active voice instead of passive voice as much as possible while framing your sentences.
• Avoid the use of abbreviations, rather use their full forms.
• It also goes without saying that you will not be using shorthands like ‘/’ for or ‘&’ for and or ‘@’ at the rate etc.
• Do not use Italic or Bold or Underline unnecessarily or over-emphasise a word or term. This habit wears down the read­ers’ reti­nas and their pa­tience. In case you are using there should be some specific reason.
• Italics or Bold or Underline should be used in cases where you would want the reader to navigate easily through the article for abbreviations.
• Do not use Block Letters or the phrase or header in Capitals. Kindly do not use capitals to emphasise a word, phrase or term. Use sentence cases and proper grammar for your articles. Capitals should be used only for nouns.
• Here’s an article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphasis_(typography) that explains emphasis in typography.
• If your article has tables or graphs, do not copy them as an image from the source. Create a table and graph in your document using MS. Excel, so that it can be adequately formatted while publishing.
• Cite the source of your tables and graphs.
• Mention the name of the author and co-author (if any) at the beginning of your article and below the title of your paper.
• Give a full stop at the end of every reference in the end list.
• Do not use first or second-person pronouns such as I or We or you or you are in KT articles (except for expert advice articles).
