Use italics for words from foreign languages. Examples: Coup d’état / vis-à-vis
Lists: For numbered list please use (1), (2), (3) etc.
ABREVIATIONS General
1. Do not use abbreviations in the title of the paper, the abstract, keywords, running heads or in headings and subheadings within the paper, unless the full version is very long and clumsy, or the abbreviation is better known than the full term. When in doubt, spell out.
2. Define an abbreviation the first time that it is used (except in the Abstract): write the term out in full followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. Use the abbreviation consistently thereafter, including at the start of sentences.
3. If abbreviations are used in a figure or table, they must all be defined in the legend even if they are also defined in the text.
4. Do not use abbreviations invented by the author of a paper for that paper – ideally, only conventional, generally-accepted abbreviations should be used.
5. Do not abbreviate single words (exceptions apply) or use two-letter abbreviations other than those listed below.
6. Abbreviations consisting of capital letters, and acronyms and contractions, should not take full points, e.g. USA, UK, MA, UN, WHO, PhD, NATO (or Nato), UNESCO (or Unesco), AD, BC
7. 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.
8. Contractions do not take a full point, e.g. Mr, St, Ltd, edn, or contracting degrees (Dr, DPhil, PhD, MSc). 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.
9. No comma after e.g., i.e. or cf. Etc. is usually preceded by a comma in a list.
Money
1. For currency use the common symbol or abbreviation – £, US$, AUD$, etc. – where the quantity is stated, but not when the unit of currency is being referred to in general terms:
2. The price of oil rose to US$25 per barrel.
3. The US dollar was at an all-time low.
4. £150m,, not millions or mlns.
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.
For measurement of area and volume units should be written in cm, m.
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 SI 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.
Numbers
Spell out numbers one to nine; for numerals 10 and over use figures.
Use figures with percentages, with units, in statistical passages, in tables, etc. Numbers, however, should be spelt out at the beginning of a sentence or the sentence should be rewritten.
Spell out and hyphenate one-half, two-thirds, etc. 4
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, 2003–4, 1989–92, 0– 1.
Use 10–14, 10–11 as these represent single words.
Decimal points are never raised off the line. Always include a zero before a point even for probability
and correlations where the number is always less than one.
Dates
1. Write out dates as follows: 30 September 2003.
2. Do not use an inverted comma in decades, e.g. 1960s, mid-1930s. Avoid 80s, etc.
3. Spell out centuries and millennia in full, e.g. twentieth century.
