Choose short sections of the sentence or claim needing the citation to hyperlink that are relevant to the source. Hyperlinked portions should be italicized.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the source cannot be hyperlinked, use Bluebook in-text citations. However, hyperlinks are strongly preferred.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>With regards to sourcing, online articles are held to the same standard as their print counterparts. Citations should only be to sources generally considered acceptable in legal scholarship. All sources, from academic high-level writing geared towards scholars (e.g. a citation to a legal journal) to entry-level explanations of legal topics, are acceptable. The best <em>Issue Spotter <\/em>pieces utilize a range of sources, with entry-level sources to explain background material and higher-level sources to provide relevant analysis to the specific topic of the piece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pincites are not necessary. For longer sources, however, favor hyperlinking to quotations or rare phrases of the relevant portion of the source so that the reader can control + F search for the relevant portion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include hyperlinks to definitions or explanations of any legal terms or concepts a lay-reader might be unfamiliar with. The Legal Information Institute is a good source for this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a relevant image to the topic below the title with a hyperlink to the source of the image.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submissions should be in Microsoft Word format. Font, font size, and margins are irrelevant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a title that clearly communicates the subject of the piece, ideally for a lay-reader.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The writing style should be accessible and geared to a wide audience.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a short blurb describing your piece for use on social media in the body of your email along with the attached piece. The blurb should explain the topic of the piece as simply as possible while aiming to draw in readers. \u201cClickbait\u201d is strongly discouraged, but framing part of the blurb as a question is acceptable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include at least three relevant hashtags for social media.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Include a short \u201cabout the author\u201d blurb, including your educational background, relevant work history, and anything else you\u2019d like to include. A professional headshot can also be included if you\u2019d like.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>For submissions to The Issue Spotter, please&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:senioronlineeditor@jlpp.org\">e-mail our Senior&nbsp;Online Editor<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The&nbsp;Cornell Journal of Law and Public Policy&nbsp;encourages unsolicited submissions.
