Please use either British or American spelling but not a mix of the two. Use gender-neutral language as much as possible.
All acronyms should be spelled out the first time that they are introduced in text or references.
If the paper contains words or phrases in a language other than English, please present these in italics on first reference. The word should be followed by its English translation in brackets. The term will appear in its original language in romanization without translation thereafter within the article.
For the RPC Chinese, use Pinyin, joined into words, without tone marks. For personal names and location names in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao, use the locally preferred transliteration system. For Japanese, use the modified Hepburn system. For Korean, use the Revised Romanization system adopted in 2000.
Please use the italic function to indicate text that should appear in italics in print, for example: titles of books, plays, long poems, and names of ships. Please avoid overuse of italics for emphasis.
Use a serial comma, for example, “Do good, reap good; do evil, reap evil.”
