Description
AU-1, Air University Style and Author Guide is designed to unify their writing stylistically and to give them information about publishing with AU Press. Rapid expansion in the field of electronic media—especially the Internet—has made AU research and writing increasingly accessible. For that reason, we should assure that our efforts in these areas are sound—not only substantively but also stylistically. Based on recognized but forward-looking principles of standard English usage, the Air University Style Guide for Writers and Editors, part one of this publication, provides reliable guidance on such matters as punctuation, capitalization, abbreviation, documentation, numbers, spelling, and much more. Following the advice found there will make AU publications stylistically consistent and acceptable. Part two, the Air University Press Author Guide, contains instructions to writers who wish to have their studies considered for publication by the Air Force’s air and space power publisher.
