Publications Style Guide
The Contents and Organization section of the Style Guide provides a general overview of the parts of a course guide and details the overall organization as well as the contents and organization of each particular section of the study guide. The Contents and Organization section is meant primarily for the editors, but may be of use to authors and other staff as a reference to what is in the study guide and how it looks.
Style
The Style section of the Stylebook covers matters of style and
grammar. These are primarily conventions that are peculiar to our publications,
but also include some standard rules that frequently cause problems or
involve common errors. The Style section is intended as a reference
for authors and editors.
Sample
Pages
The sample pages are PDF copies of actual pages from published study guides
with annotations. The annotations appear in red and provide details on
the word-processing formating of the document. The sample pages are intended
as a reference for editors and word-processing operators.
In addition to direct access here, the sample pages are linked to the
appropriate sections of the Contents and Organization section of
the Style Guide.
