  • Temple University Editorial Style Guide
    Temple University Editorial Style Guide Temple’s Editorial Voice and Communications Identity ● The editorial style of all university communications should be straightforward, descriptive, active and concise. ● Avoid overly academic tones, passive voice and unwieldy sentences. ● The voice should be bold, individualistic, conversational and authentic. EXAMPLE While some scientists scour the rainforest for new medicinal treatments, Eric Altschuler, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine, mines literature, music and art for medical discoveries. He’s very interested in mirrors, how they are depicted and how they are positioned in the composition of paintings. He points out that from 15th-century van Eyck through 20th-century Picasso, wherever a mirror appears in a painting, it’s portrayed and viewed by subjects on the frontal plane—that is, head on. Editorial Style and Consistency For many years, writers and journalists around the world have relied on style guides to ensure correctness and consistency in punctuation, spelling, capitalization, abbreviations and usage. As its official style guide, Temple University has adopted the Associated Press (AP) Stylebook, which is derived from Webster’s New World College Dictionary. The Temple University Editorial Style Guide contains guidelines specific to Temple University. Some are exceptions to the AP Stylebook, and others are included to ensure internal consistency. When writing, verify your style with the entries in this guide, the AP Stylebook and Webster’s New World College Dictionary in that order. The AP Stylebook also is available via ​online subscription​. It is critical to maintain a consistent style throughout your projects with regard to abbreviations, capitalization, spelling and usage.
