SOME STYLE ISUES

Here are some key ideas about style from Style Manual (1994) and my own experience. About small things like words and numbers

• There is a difference in the use of a full stop at the end of an abbreviation and a contraction. For example, 'Dr' and 'Oct.' are different because the 'r' in Dr is the last letter in the full word but 't' is not the last letter in October.
• Use single quotation marks rather than double quotation marks, except when you have a quotation within a quotation when double quotation marks should be used. Here is an example: He said, `Bill shouted at me, "Go away!" I could not believe it.'
• However, if your quotation is more than 30 words, present it as an indented paragraph without quotation marks and without a space before the indented paragraph英语论文网 【http://www.51lunwen.org】. For example, he said:
I am going to speak more than 30 words. I am going to speak more than 30 words. I am going to speak more than 30 words. I am going to speak more than 30 words.
• If-you use your own, unusual words or slang words, present them with quotation marks the first time you use then but not when you use the words after that; for example, 'quasi¬probabilistic' and 'confirmatory/disconfirmatory test'.
• Present a title of a book or journal in italics, for example, Tom Thumb.
• Do not place full stops between the letters in established abbreviations like 'US' or 'ASEAN'
• Use country names and abbreviations like this: `United States' is a noun or an adjective and 'US' is only an adjective.
• Use a capital letter only at the start of a heading or the title of a figure and table, and then use lower case for all the other words.
• Use a capital for one particular unit but all lower case for many units, for example, 'my University' and 'many universities'.
• Write out numbers from one to nine in words, and larger numbers as numbers, for example, 'nine' and '10'. However, if you are comparing a number above 10 with a number below 10, present both of them as number, for example, '7 out of the 15 people were blind'.
• However, never use numbers at the start of a sentence. For example, do not start with '1998 was...' or '77 percent was...'; instead, start 本文来自：英语论文网 【http://www.51lunwen.org】
