  • For (chapters,sections,figures,equations,tables,etc...) capitalise only when referencing a specific number. For example, in this chapter we ..., but in Chapter 6 we ...
 
  • Capitalise proper names, such as Hamming distance or Boolean formula.
  • When you capitalise a bullet, it should be a full sentence (but not strictly) and it must end with a period.

Sectional Comments

  • At the very beginning of each section, there should be a few sentences that clearly state what we are about to investigate or show, so the reader has a good reason to continue reading.
  • 'glue' between sections should be placed at the beginning of a section rather than at the end

References

  • Avoid using references as nouns (as in "In Smith and Jones[6]"). Instead, either something like "Smith and Jones have shown ... [6]" or "As shown in the work by Smith and Jones[6] ...". The idea is that if you were to delete all references, everything should still be grammatically correct. This makes for a more elegant style and smoother reading.

Spelling

  • Use British spelling:
  • Colour, neighbourhood, behaviour...
  • Use the (-se) word forms not the (-ze) word forms. Don't forget all the varaiants: (-sed,-sation,-sations,-sing): Optimise, optimised, optimisation, optimisations, optimising.
  • More examples: penalise, analyse, initialise, minimise, maximise, summarise, characterise, normalise, randomise, conceptualise, emphasise.
  • Exceptions: size (sized, sizing...).

Capitalisation

  • For (chapters,sections,figures,equations,tables,etc...) capitalise only when referencing a specific number. For example, in this chapter we blah blah, but in Chapter 6 we blah blah.
  • Capitalise proper names, such as Hamming distance or Boolean formula.
  • When you capitalise a bullet, it should be a full sentence (but not strictly) and it must end with a period.
