The aim of this guide is to indicate our preferences where there are no set rules on what is right or wrong, and to act as a quick reference for common points of uncertainty. It is by no means intended to cover every detail; there are several very comprehensive guides that give information on copy-editing in general, and on specific rules of grammar, spelling etc. The key documents you should refer to for further clarification include:
The Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Eleventh Edition, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2004
The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th Edition, Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1993
