Changes are highlighted in yellow.<br />

within the omitted passage, the result will be four dots. Each portion of text on either side of the<br />

ellipsis should be functionally a sentence. Do not enclose ellipses in brackets.<br />

No science is immune to the infection of politics and the corruption of power …. The time has come to consider<br />

how we might bring about a separation, as complete as possible, between science and government in all<br />

countries.<br />

Retain punctuation around ellipses if it helps to retain the sense of the passage.<br />

The sound of the cornet, flute, … and all kinds of music … [comma indicates continuation of list]<br />

3.15 Solidus (or Slash)<br />

3.15.1 The solidus may be used as a symbol for per in abbreviated units of measure.<br />

10 kg/cm 2 2 m/s kg/(m 2 s K)<br />

3.15.2 The solidus may be used for electrode pairs, supported systems, heterostructures, systems of<br />

impurities, etc. In general, use a solidus to indicate an item that is not a mixture, but a heterogeneous<br />

structure, e.g., a binary or multicomponent system, an interface, or a local heterogeneity.<br />

Ag/AgCl electrode Pt/SiO 2 catalyst Si/SiO 2 semiconductor<br />

Pt/Pt–Rh thermocouple M q+ /A nB m (system of impurities)<br />

3.15.3 Avoid using a solidus between words in text.<br />

Incorrect<br />

3.16 Spacing<br />

3.16.1 Leave one space after periods, question marks, exclamation points, colons, semicolons, and<br />

commas.<br />

3.16.2 Leave a space before and after arithmetic signs in equations or mathematical operations with<br />

an element to the left and right (+ , – , = , < , > , ≤ , ≥ , � , etc.) with the exception of the division or<br />

fraction sign (/). In sub- and superscripts, the space may be omitted. An exception is computer<br />

codes, which sometimes may contain mathematical operations without spacing. For charge numbers<br />

and arithmetic operators with no element to the left of them, the arithmetic sign should be closed up<br />

to the number.<br />
