Excerpt from The Bibliographic Style of the American Medical Association Press The following extract from the Style-Book of the American Medical Association Press is here printed for the convenience of authors and as an aid toward uniformity and accuracy in style, especially in bibliographic work. The fact that this pamphlet is to be circulated among authors justifies the inclusion here of (A) some general remarks on the preparation of manuscripts, and (B) some publishers' rules concerning proof, reprints and exclusive publication. A. Manuscript Preparation 1. Manuscripts should be typewritten, well spaced between the lines and with ample margins. Lines should not be close-spaced for case reports or for any other matter. This point is of great importance, since the manuscript editors need to place some directions to the printer on the margin, and others between the lines of the manuscript. In some instances it may be impossible to prepare a close-spaced manuscript for the printer. Illegibility, close spacing, or other mechanical defects in the preparation of a manuscript - as well as errors in spelling, grammar and diction - may sometimes turn the scale against the acceptance of an article. Manuscripts should not be rolled, and preferably not folded, and. we repeat for emphasis, not closely written. 2. The ambiguous and inconsistent use of pronouns should be avoided. Sometimes an author will refer to himself in one place as "the writer," in another as "the author," in a third as "I," and in still another as "we." He may then go on to use the pronoun "we" with reference to the medical profession or the world at large.
