Previously published under title: Scientific style and format. Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
"On matters of scientific style and format, editors and authors have long looked to the Council of Science Editors for authoritative guidance. In this ninth edition of The CSE Manual, the leading international association of scientific publishing professionals offers its most comprehensive recommendations yet. Fully revised by science editors representing six continents and the full spectrum of scientific disciplines, the new edition describes best practices for stylistic conventions as well as publishing policies and technologies. Among other revisions, it reflects new guidelines for promoting diversity, equality, and inclusion in such areas as capitalization, pronoun use, and issues for multilingual authors. It includes a new chapter on digital standards in scholarly journal publishing covering such topics as journal metrics, digital archiving, and artificial intelligence. The recommendations on references have been overhauled to encourage conciseness and efficiency in presentation of author names, access dates, and digital object identifiers. And the list of additional resources and the index have both been thoroughly updated. The ninth edition is also available in a subscription-based online edition that is fully searchable and accessible. Whether in print or digital form, The CSE Manual will guide all those in the ever-evolving world of scientific publishing to present their work more clearly and effectively"-- Provided by publisher.
