Citation Practice Notes for Contributors
Common citation errors we correct at copy-editing, and how to avoid them before submission.
A manuscript is read for the first time under time pressure. The first page therefore has to do three things at once: state the question, state the answer, and say why the answer is not obvious.
Manuscripts that open with a literature survey almost always lose the reader before the contribution appears.
A useful discipline: write the abstract last, then delete the first two paragraphs of the introduction.
Comments
Comments are moderated by the Editorial Board before they appear. Personal attacks and unattributed allegations are not published.
