Barrick Lab Style Guide
Citations
Use
Mendeley
to organize your citations and insert them into word processing documents.
If you aren't formatting for submission to a specific journal, use the
Nature Reviews Genetics
style.
To add italics to species names in downloaded citations, add HTML italics tags around them.
e.g. Escherichia coli to <i>Escherichia coli</i>
You will generally need to manually correct the journal names from downloaded paper to their standard abbreviations.
e.g.
Journal of Bacteriology
to
J. Bact.
Find the standard abbreviation using
CAS
or
other resources
.
Figures and Graphs
Always include a legend for symbols within a figure, NOT just in the figure caption.
Unlike the defaults in Microsoft Excel:
Enclose the data frame of a graph in a full box.
Generally, do not include any grid lines on graphs.
Do not use shadow effects.
Use 95% confidence intervals, rather than standard deviations for error bars.
