| Bibliographic Style Manual.
D. Thibault. Ottawa. National Library of Canada;
1990. Available from Canadian Government Publishing
Centre, Supply and Services Canada, Ottawa,
Canada K1A OS9
A comprehensive, detailed manual with recommendations
based on ISO Standard 690, Documentation,
bibliographic references: content, form and
structure. Although it receommends formats
with parallels to those in the US National
Library of Medicine recommended formats,
it cannot substitute for the NLM's manual. It
may be useful to editors seeking alternative
formats. |
| The Canadian style: a guide to writing and
editing. Department of the Secretary of State
of Canada. Toronto: Dundern Press; 1985.
In addition to the usual content on general
matters of style such as abbreviation, capitalisation,
punctuation and other details of publication
style, this manual gives special attention to
Canadian preferences in usage, to bilingual
matters, and to sexual and ethnic stereotyping.
Contains an extensive, selective bibliography. |
| Chicago Manual of Style. 14th ed. Chicago:
Univ Chicago Press; 1993
For many years, this manual has set standards
for style and format in scholarly publishing.
This edition has the same general scope and
arrangement as earlier editions, but carries
much more detail on many aspects of publication
style. The opening part covers in detail editorial
procedure in book publishing; the closing part
gives an extensive account of book design and
production. Extensive glossary, detailed index. |
| Chicago guide to preparing electronic manuscripts.
Chicago: Univ Chicago Press; 1987
Among the earliest of the manuals specifically
concerned with computer-assisted writing and
publishing. |
| The Columbia Guide to Online Style. New
York: Columbia University Press; 1998.
An essential reference to style and citation
for electronic documents |
| Editing Canadian English. L. Burton, C.
Cragg, B. Czarnecki, S.K. Paine, S. Pedwell,
I.H. Phillips, K. Vanderlinden [authors for
the Freelance Editors' Association of Canada].
Vancouver: Douglas & McIntyre; 1987.
Has much the same scope and detail as The
Canadian Style, described above. An appendix
discusses in detail peculiarly Canadian questions
of style. |
| The Gregg reference manual. W.A. Sabin.
Lake Forest (IL): Glencoe; 1992.
A thorough, comprehensive style manual that
covers alphabetic filing in detail and many
grammatical topics in addition to the usual
scope of a general style manual. Includes formats
for reports, letters and other kinds of business
document. Convenient as a desk reference because
of its spiral-wire binding, and attractive in
part for its relatively low price. |
| Hart's rules for compositors
and readers at the University Press Oxford.
39th ed. Oxford (UK): Oxford University
Press; 1983.
A short but detailed style manual for scholarly
publishing. Especially useful for guidance in
British style. |
| A manual for writers of term papers, theses
and dissertations. 5th ed. K.L. Turabian.
Chicago: Univ Chicago Press; 1987.
Based on the Chicago Manual of Style,
it pays special attention to the scholarly apparatus
characteristic of academic documents. Especially
useful for its sections on citations of, and
references to, documents of the British, Canadian
and US governments and of the United Nations.
Has an extensive set of sample pages illustrating
appropriate formats and specifications. |
| The MLA style manual. W.S. Achtert, J. Gibaldi.
New York: Modern Language Association of America;
1985.
Covers scholarly procedure in writing and publishing,
details of publication style, and citation and
reference formats. More useful for the literature
of the humanities than that of science. Much
of the same content is presented in The MLA
Handbook for Writers of Research Papers,
3rd ed, J. Gibaldi and W.S. Achtert,
Modern Language Association of America; 1988. |
| Style manual for authors, editors and printers.
4th ed. Australian Government Publishing
Service. Canberra: AGPS Press; 1988.
A detailed manual on publication style (spelling,
capitalisation, typographic conventions, bias-free
usage, references, numbers, measurement), preparing
copy for printing, parts of a publication, processes
of printing and bookmaking. A good source for
usage characteristic of Australia and other
Commonwealth countries; has a glossary and a
detailed appendix on honorifics and their proper
sequences. |
| United States Government Printing Office
style manual 1984. Washington: US Government
Printing Office; 1984.
Helpful with many details of style relevant
mainly to public documents, but has sections
useful for scientific writing, such as the extensive
list of insect and plant names and the section
on the formation of compound words. The section
on foreign languages includes alphabets (with
diacritical marks), rules for syllabication,
capitalisation, punctuation, hyphenation, cardinal
and ordinal numbers, and commonly used terms
for dates and times. |
| Webster's standard American style manual.
Springfield (MA): Merriam-Webster; 1985.
Has a scope similar to that of The Chicago
Manual of Style; offers less detail on style
relevant in the humanities but more on scientific
style. Almost half the manual offers guidance
in indexing, copyediting, proof correction,
and book production. Has a glossary, bibliography
and index. |
