Scientific Style and Format Summary

Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers by Edward J. Huth

Scientific Style and Format: the CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Sixth Edition, is a detailed and authoritative manual recommending both general and scientific publication styles and formats for journals, books, and other forms of publication. It covers all sciences, not just biology and the medical sciences, and both American and British preferences are recognised. Every author of a scientific paper or book will profit from this essential resource. Editors and publishers engaged in the sciences, students in the sciences, and translators of scientific papers destined for English-language publication will also find this manual an invaluable resource. It is far more up-to-date, more specific, more authoritative, and easier to use than any other reference to scientific style and format.

Scientific Style and Format Reviews

'There is no other book like this for the scientific and technological community. It should be the major desk reference for anyone writing a scientific article or book. Students should be made aware of the manual early in their educational career so that old habits can be broken and correct procedures adhered to. Highly recommended for all academic libraries; public libraries should consider purchase too.' Booklist, The American Library Association
'Of reasonable size, written in a clear style, free from any over-specialized language, at the level of a master's degree which remains accessible to a vast scientific public, this book should enjoy a wide and well-deserved circulation ...' Paul Germani, Professor at Polytechnique, Secretaire perpetuel de l'Academie des Sciences
'No English-language author, editor or publisher in the field can do without it.' STM Newsletter
'As a reference manual for anyone in the business of scientific editing, this publication, now in its sixth edition, has no rivals.' Olive Brooke, Learned Publishing
' ... an invaluable publication for authors and editors alike ... warmly recommended.' P. K. Thomas, Journal of Anatomy
