The New Era University Office of Student Communications and Publications (NEU-

The New Era University Office of Student Communications and Publications (NEU- OSCaP) created the New Era University Editorial Style Guide (NEU-ESG) adopted from the writing conventions contained in The Associated Press Stylebook, which is the standard for most university publishing. The NEU-ESG serves as a quick reference tool for members of the NEU academic community for its consistent and appropriate usage for print and electronic materials written for and about the New Era University. On formatting conventions for the titles of books, publications, articles, course listings, films, music, or works of art, the NEU-OSCaP follows the convention of The Chicago Manual of Style, the guide most commonly used in academia for the citation of references. Departures from either guide are noted in the text. The guide also includes items specific to NEU and outlines accepted practice for NEU content providers. In applying any style guide, it is most important to maintain a consistent editorial approach within a specific piece. For spelling, style, usage, and foreign geographic names not mentioned in The Associated Press Stylebook, the staff of the OSCAP encourages the use of Webster's New World College Dictionary, Fourth Edition. The NEU-ESG will be reviewed yearly to include new or edited items specific to Endicott and to incorporate any changes in other referenced style guides. When that occurs, we will implement changes in College materials as practical. 2 ENDI COTT \ EDITORIAL S TYLE GUIDE 1 1-9 AND 10-UP 1. Spell out numbers at the beginning of the sentence. Example: Two NEU students won the championship in the last held National Quiz Bee in Sofitel, Manila. 2. Use the numeric form for numbers 1-9 except when the number is used at the beginning of the sentence. Examples: Two NEU students won the championship in the last held National Quiz Bee in Sofitel, Manila. but The NEU Board of Trustees personally congratulated the 2 NEU students who won the championship in the last held National Quiz Bee in Sofitel, Manila. A, AN, AND AND 1. Use the article “a” before consonant sounds and “an” before vowel sounds: Examples: a director an honest man (the h is silent) 2. Use the ampersand (&) only for specific titles or business names (e.g., Abercrombie & Fitch). The ampersand may be used sparingly as a graphic element or as a means of shortening Web menu headings. ABBREVIATIONS, ACRONYMS, AND INITIALISMS An abbreviation is any shortened form of a word. Examples: etc. for etcetera Jan. for January An acronym is a special kind of abbreviation that is made from the first letter (or letters) of a string of words but are pronounced as if they were words themselves. Examples: OSCaP (Office of Student Communications and Publications) NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) Initialisms are also made from the first letter or letters of a string of words, but they cannot be pronounced as words themselves. Examples include NEU (New Era University), CAS (College of Arts and Sciences), FYI (for your information), and GPA (grade point average). Initialisms are generally pronounced by verbalizing each letter, for example, N, E, U. 2 Avoid “alphabet soup” — unnecessary use of acronyms or abbreviations — whenever possible. 1. Spell out the first reference followed by the acronym or abbreviation in parentheses; the acronym or abbreviation may be used for subsequent references: Example: New Era University (NEU) is a non-sectarian university established by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) with the aim of providing affordable and quality education. The NEU stands out for its education philosophy – Godliness is the foundation of knowledge – among its contemporaries. 2. Acronyms and initialisms may be used for the first reference if they are widely recognized. Examples: FBI, BIR, CHED 3. Abbreviations use all caps, but no periods except for academic degrees with small letters. (See under Academic Degrees.) Examples: UN, USA, YMCA, CIA Ed.D., M.Ed., Ph.D., but RN, MBA, DBA, BFA3 Acronyms for NEU Department Acronym College of Accountancy COA College of Arts and Sciences CAS College of Business Administration CBA College of Communication COC College of Computer Studies CCS College of Criminology CCR College of Education CED College of Engineering and Architecture CEA College of Law COL College of Medical Technology CMT College of Medicine CMD College of Midwifery CMW College of Music COM College of Nursing CON College of Physical Therapy CRT College of Respiratory Therapy CRT Integrated School IS Technical Education and Skills Development Center TESDC 3 ACADEMIC DEGREES The preferred form is to spell out degrees and avoid abbreviations.
