Editorial Style Guide. A Publisher's Guide for Editors, Writers, and Compositors of Scientific and Technical Reports.

Abstract

This Editorial Style Guide has been prepared to provide a guide to good usage in matters of publisher's style as practiced at the Naval Weapons Center. The development of a 'standard' style is essential to the efficient operation of any publishing house. Although the Guide has been designed specifically for NWC, it should be of value to the editorial offices of other research and development organizations producing scientific and engineering reports. It is a guide to good practice in expository writing and the presentation of information in a clear, concise, and consistent manner within a simple, functional format. Many examples of textual, tabular, and illustrative treatment are given along with guidelines for such matters as the presentation of bibliographic references, mathematics, capitalization, abbreviations, and security classification markings.
