SklogWiki style guide

Acronyms

Try to avoid the use of acronyms. You yourself may be over-familiar with a particular set of acronyms. However, SklogWiki is open to all, and acronyms can be confusing and/or off-putting. SklogWiki pages have no space restrictions, unlike published papers; so always try expand your acronym. At the very least, any acronym must be defined within the page it is used.

Notation

Try try use, where possible, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry approved nomenclature and symbols. For example, in the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, popularly known as the Gold Book, the Helmholtz free energy is now known as the Helmholtz energy (function) ($A$).

Equations

The equations are formed using LaTeX math markup. Indent equations by placing a colon before the equation.

DOI and References

Link to published papers by using (when possible) its Digital Object Identifier. The Digital Object Identifier of an online paper can almost always be found somewhere in the online abstract of an article. By placing this code after http://dx.doi.org/ one is led directly to the online version of the paper.

At the moment references are made roughly as follows

#[ http://dx.doi.org/---DOI--- Author, "Title", Journal, volume, pp. firstPage-lastPage (year)].
