Chicago is prevalent in scholarly publishing, and is used by several key partners at Harvard, including Mass Hall, Harvard Magazine, and many teams within AA&D. Comprehensive and highly technical, Chicago is the best fit for AA&D’s content and audience. For anything not listed in the AA&D Style Guide (or for further explanation of many of the style rules listed in this guide), consult Chicago. Where AA&D style and Chicago style disagree, follow AA&D style. This guide comprises editorial style best practices recommended by AA&D Marketing and Communications; however, to quote the first edition of The Chicago Manual of Style: “Rules and regulations such as these, in the nature of the case, cannot be endowed with the fixity of rock-ribbed law. They are meant for the average case, and must be applied with a certain degree of elasticity.” In other words, exceptions may be called for in certain instances and should be considered on a case-by-case basis. For questions about anything in this guide or about AA&D style in general, contact Ben Aaronson, marketing communications editor/writer, at [email protected]. Special thanks to Whitney Espich and Ed Perlmutter for their assistance in putting together this guide. 2 ________________________________________ Abbreviations For a more detailed guide to abbreviations, see chapter 10 in The Chicago Manual of Style. Note: Where AA&D style and Chicago style disagree, follow AA&D style. Spelled or Abbreviated? Spell proper names in full at first reference and give the abbreviation in parentheses. The abbreviation alone may be used in subsequent reference. Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) Harvard Business School (HBS) However, if an abbreviation is more common than the spelled name, use the abbreviation alone (e.g., CIA, HMO, IBM, NFL, YMCA). Also see Company Names and States and Cities. Periods in Abbreviations Use periods with abbreviations that end in a lowercase letter (etc., e.g., i.e., a.k.a., a.m., p.m., Ms., Dr.), except for academic degrees (e.g., MDiv, MArch). Use periods in initials in a personal name (e.g., J. K. Rowling, W. E. B. Dubois), but do not use periods for an entire name replaced by initials (e.g., JFK, FDR). Do not use periods with most abbreviations that appear in full capitals, even if lowercase letters appear within the abbreviation (e.g., VP, CEO, MD, PhD), with the following exceptions: A.R.T., D.C., U.K., U.S. Place Names Spell out terms such as Fort and Mount in place names (e.g., Fort Lauderdale, Mount Fuji). Always spell out Mount in Mount Auburn Street. Saint is more commonly abbreviated in place names (e.g., St. Paul, St. Louis). Titles Before Names Many civil or military titles preceding a full name may be abbreviated. Preceding a surname alone, however, they should be spelled out. Sen. Elizabeth Warren; Senator Warren Gen. Martin E. Dempsey; General Dempsey The abbreviations Rev. and Hon. are used before a full name when the does not precede the title. When preceded by the, such titles should be spelled out. Rev. Sam Portaro; the Reverend Sam Portaro Hon. Henry M. Brown; the Honorable Henry M. Brown 3 ________________________________________ Academic Honors Set cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude in roman (not italics) and do not set off with commas. She graduated magna cum laude with a degree in history. ________________________________________ Advisor Use advisor, not adviser. Note: The Advising Programs Office prefers adviser, so an exception may be appropriate for content focused on College advising. ________________________________________ Alumni In the singular, use alumnus for a man, alumna for a woman. In the plural, use alumni for an all-male group, alumnae for an all-female group. For a mixed-gender group, it is generally acceptable to use alumni, but alumni/ae (or alumni and alumnae) may be used to emphasize alumnae. Avoid the informal alum or alums. Anyone who attended Harvard, even for one term, receives alumni status. Always use present tense to refer to the Harvard connection. He is in the Class of 1985. (Not: He was in the Class of 1985.) Jack and Susan are classmates. (Not: Jack and Susan were classmates.) When referring to Harvard classes, use the form Class of XXXX. When preceded by Harvard and Radcliffe or Harvard College, classes are listed differently depending on the class year, as follows: 1962 and earlier: Harvard and Radcliffe Classes of XXXX 1963–1999: Harvard and Radcliffe Class of XXXX 2000 and later: Harvard College Class of XXXX (or Harvard Class of XXXX in College publications) ________________________________________ Campaign Capitalize The as part of The Harvard Campaign or The Harvard Campaign for Arts and Sciences. Always capitalize Campaign in reference to the current Campaign. ________________________________________ Company Names In running text, company names are best given in their full forms on first reference. It should be noted that some full forms include ampersands and abbreviations. If in doubt, check the company’s website. Such elements as Inc., Ltd., & Co., and LLC may be omitted unless relevant to the context. Where included, do not set these elements off with commas, even if the company does. 4 When the precedes the name of a company (or institution, organization, etc.) in running text, it may be lowercased, even if the is part of the official title. For more, see sections 6.48, 8.69, and 10.23 in The Chicago Manual of Style. ________________________________________ Composition Titles Use italics for the titles of books, periodicals, pamphlets and reports, long poems, plays, movies, TV and radio programs (but episodes in quotation marks), blogs (but blog entries in quotation marks), works of art, operas, musicals, albums, and other long musical compositions. Use quotation marks for the titles of articles, parts of a book, essays and short stories, short poems, and songs. When newspapers and periodicals are mentioned in text, an initial the, even if part of the official title, is lowercased (unless it begins a sentence) and not italicized (e.g., the Harvard Crimson, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal). For more, see sections 8.161–8.195 in The Chicago Manual of Style. ________________________________________ Course Titles Capitalize course titles; use quotation marks around the descriptive title but not the area of study/course number. Computer Science 50 (CS50): “Introduction to Computer Science I” Engineering Sciences 21 (ES21): “The Innovators’ Practice” ________________________________________ Degrees The following guidelines represent a standard approach to formatting various Harvard degree designations. Formatting may vary across clients and publications, particularly in donor lists, which tend to follow donor preference. University-Wide Publications List each Harvard degree (do not use periods in abbreviations) followed by the year, typically the last two digits preceded by a “smart” apostrophe (e.g., AB ’08, not AB 2008); if there is any ambiguity about the century, use all four digits (e.g., AB 1908). Leave a space between the degree and year. Do not use a comma between the name and the first degree, but do use a comma before each subsequent degree. List degrees in chronological order (alphabetical order for degrees in the same year). John J. Moon AB ’89, PhD ’94 Nicholas J. Sakellariadis AB ’73, JD ’77, MBA ’77 5 Do not list non-Harvard degrees unless specifically requested. When listed, set off with commas and do not include the year (unlike Harvard degrees). Annette Burke, MD (MD is non-Harvard degree) Ming Tsuang, MD, PhD, AM ’87 (only AM is Harvard degree) FAS Publications Follow the same formatting as University-Wide Publications, but do not list the degree earned (AB/SB) for College alumni, only the class year. John J. Moon ’89, PhD ’94 (omit AB) Some FAS publications also omit non-FAS degrees. Nicholas J. Sakellariadis ’73 (omit AB and non-FAS degrees) GSAS Degrees Only list the terminal degree—do not list an AM or SM for alumni with a PhD. John J. Moon ’89, PhD ’94 (omit AM ’93 since PhD is terminal degree) Ann Bennett Spence AM ’69 (include AM since it is terminal degree) Current Students List current undergrads with their class year alone (no AB/SB).

  • Debating Diversity Following the Widely Publicized Deaths of Black Tape
    KENNEDY SCHOOL, UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The Harvard Kennedy School aims to build students’ capacity for better public policy, wise democratic governance, international amity, and more. Now it is addressing its own capacity issues (as described at harvardmag.com/ hks-16). In January, as seen across Eliot Street from the northeast (opposite page), work was well under way to raise the level of the interior courtyard, install utility space in a new below-grade level, and erect a four-story “south building.” The project will bridge the Eliot Street opening between the Belfer (left) and Taubman (right) buildings with a new “gateway” structure that includes faculty offices and other spaces. The images on this page (above and upper right) show views diagonally across the courtyard from Taubman toward Littauer, and vice versa. Turning west, across the courtyard toward the Charles Hotel complex (right), affords a look at the current open space between buildings; the gap is to be filled with a new, connective academic building, including classrooms.

Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • CRISIS of PURPOSE in the IVY LEAGUE the Harvard Presidency of Lawrence Summers and the Context of American Higher Education
    Institutions in Crisis CRISIS OF PURPOSE IN THE IVY LEAGUE The Harvard Presidency of Lawrence Summers and the Context of American Higher Education Rebecca Dunning and Anne Sarah Meyers In 2001, Lawrence Summers became the 27th president of Harvard Univer- sity. Five tumultuous years later, he would resign. The popular narrative of Summers’ troubled tenure suggests that a series of verbal indiscretions created a loss of confidence in his leadership, first among faculty, then students, alumni, and finally Harvard’s trustee bodies. From his contentious meeting with the faculty of the African and African American Studies Department shortly af- ter he took office in the summer of 2001, to his widely publicized remarks on the possibility of innate gender differences in mathematical and scientific aptitude, Summers’ reign was marked by a serious of verbal gaffes regularly reported in The Harvard Crimson, The Boston Globe, and The New York Times. The resignation of Lawrence Summers and the sense of crisis at Harvard may have been less about individual personality traits, however, and more about the context in which Summers served. Contestation in the areas of university governance, accountability, and institutional purpose conditioned the context within which Summers’ presidency occurred, influencing his appointment as Harvard’s 27th president, his tumultuous tenure, and his eventual departure.

    AMA CITATION STYLE GUIDE BCIT LIBRARY SERVICES | bcit.ca/library Updated August 2015 AMA Citation Style Guide | 3 When writing a research paper, it is important to cite any sources that you consult in your research and subsequently use to support the ideas that you put forth in your paper. Failure to acknowledge the use of information gathered or ideas posed by other authors, whether you directly quote them or not, may be construed as plagiarism. Plagiarism is the presentation of the ideas and/or the work of others as one’s own and is a serious offence. This guide is meant to serve an introduction to the 10th edition of the American Medical Association (AMA) citation style. For more information, see Chapter 8 in Cite right: a quick guide to citation styles by Charles Lipson (PN 171 F56 L55 2011, BCIT Library, Burnaby) or one of the many web resources that offer instruction in the use of the citation style. The AMA citation guides produced by the Library at the College of Saint Scholastica (http://libguides.css.edu/ama) and by the Library at Brescia University College (http://brescia.uwo.ca/library/ research/citation-guides/) are highly recommended resources. AMA CITATION STYLE (10TH EDITION) When using the AMA citation style, indication of and information about a cited work, piece of information or idea must appear in two places. You must insert a note within the text of your paper when you make use of a borrowed piece of information and/or idea.

  • Style and Citation Guide Revised March 2014
    Style and Citation Guide Revised March 2014 This International Law Studies Style and Citation Guide sets forth the style guidelines for publications edited and published by the International Law Department (ILD), Center for Naval Warfare Studies, United States Naval War College. In general, all citations in articles as published will comport with The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation (19th ed.) (Harvard Bluebook). These guidelines are draw from and complemented by The Economist Style Guide (9th ed.), The Elements of Style (4th ed.) by Strunk and White and the Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.). ILS is privileged to receive for publication numerous articles from international scholars. Recognizing that the Harvard Bluebook is not readily available and is used only for U.S. legal publications, this style guide is intended as an aid to international authors in particular. As an additional resource, a comprehensive Citation List, comprised of commonly cited works in Harvard Bluebook format will be provided separately. ILD editors will assist in the process of ensuring that articles conform to Harvard Bluebook requirements. International authors are not expected to become Harvard Bluebook experts, but to the extent the following style and citation formats are used, it eases and expedites the editing process. Stylistic Format GRAMMAR AND SPELLING U.S. English grammar and spelling will be used for published articles. Spelling of titles, e.g., Ministry of Defence, will not be changed. ABBREVIATIONS Abbreviate with caution. Unless an abbreviation or acronym is so familiar that it is used more often than the full form (e.g., BBC, CIA, FBI, EU, IMF, NATO, WTO), write the words in full on the first appearance.
