| Abstract: | This Guide lists certain items that must be included in all WES reports, gives the locations of these and other major elements, and outlines the types of information to be included in some of these elements. The Guide also prescribes ways of handling certain questions concerning format and style that confront most authors. Grammar is discussed only briefly; instead, reference is made to commonly used textbooks for this type of information. References and a bibliography to this Guide are included at the end of the main text. A list showing the preferred spelling of difficult or uncommon words used in WES reports is included as Appendix A. A list of abbreviations commonly used at WES is included as Appendix B. Mathematical symbols and expressions are discussed in Appendix C. Format and physical characteristics of WES reports are described in detail in Appendix D. Appendixes E and F give guidance for the use of copyrighted material and multicolor illustrations, respectively. For the convenience of the user of this Guide, an index is included as Appendix G. |
