===Editorial Preferences===
*Serial commas in all situations — alpha, beta, and gamma

*Footnotes Notes shall be enumerated numbered sequentially throughout the documenteach article.
*Footnotes go at the bottom of columns, not grouped at the bottom of the page.
*If Footnotes footnotes are used with a Bibliography, the Footnotes footnotes shall be in brief format, "Author, Year, p. 00" with full details in the Bibliography.*Endnotes Notes are referenced by numerals within square brackets in text — [1], not superscript <sup>1</sup>*Endnotes Notes are listed by numerals followed by a closing square bracket — 1], not [1].*Endnotes are preferable preferred to Footnotesfootnotes.*Do not use apostrophes in decades; thus 1920s not 1920's, and 80s not 80's.*Ordinal suffixes (st, nd, rd, th) should be superscript. Elevation 33% and size 67%. ===Things to Avoid===*Do not use double spaces; condense them all to single spaces.*Do not use spaces for formatting. Use indent or tabs if required.*Do not put blank lines between paragraphs.*Do not link frames or illustrations to pages; link them to paragraphs. ===English Admonitions===*When inserting a parenthetical phrase, any following comma goes outside the parentheses.*When a parenthetical phrase at the end of a sentence is itself a whole sentence, place the period for the main sentence at it's end (before the parentheses), and place the period for the parentheical sentence within the parentheses.
