of
accepted articles.

affiliation
of

Punctuation
and
abbreviations
• Single quotation marks should be used to enclose actual quotes
from other sources
or
for technical terms when they are first
introduced. On
subsequent
mention
of
technical terms,
no
quotation marks should be used. Excessive use
of
quotation
marks should be avoided.
• Double quotation marks are used to enclose quotes within text
which is itself quoted.
• Latin abbreviations such as
'i.e.'
or
'e.g.'
are acceptable only
in expressions within parentheses, as here: 'adjectives which
collocate with fare (e.g. wholesome, simple, country)
...
'
Elsewhere, they should be replaced by their English equivalents,
'that
is'
or
'for
example'. Italic should not be used for such
abbreviations nor for such common Latin expressions as
'ad
hoc',
'et
al.,'etc.
• Numbers up to 9 and vaguely expressed numbers should be
spelled out
in
words. However, any numbers
in
a statistical
context, precise numbers, units
of
measurement, and numbers
above I 00 should be stated
in
figures.
