  1. Style Guide

Titles, Headings, Links

Titles of work in text should be in title case. Science for the People, not Science for the people. Title case should also be used in citations.

Italic: books, plays, movies, collections of poetry or long poems published separately, works of art, operas, oratorios, motets, tone poems and other long works, periodicals, and newspapers. Note that our style is to italicize "the" in the title of a periodical: The New York Times, The New Republic.

Italicize Science for the People when referring to the magazine; when referring to the organization, do not italicize.

We do not underline titles. If italics are not available in your word processing program, use UPPERCASE STYLING.

Use Roman type and quotes for articles and features in periodicals and newspapers, essays and short stories, chapters and other sections of a book, short poems, unpublished works, and television shows unless part of a series (as in, the following episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, "Graduation").

Headings

For complex articles we encourage multiple sections with subheadings. Please note that our Wordpress web editor requires titles for these section headings, so don’t leave sections separated by asterisks or other characters.

URLs

Outside of citations, remove the prefix characters and final slashes from URLs. For instance, magazine.scienceforthepeople.org, not https://www.magazine.scienceforthepeople.org/.
