for the NIDDK clearinghouses

The NIDDK clearinghouses, education programs, and communications office
use a journalistic style. This style guide highlights some frequent
problem areas. It is intended to supplement standard style guides, such
as AP, UPI, and Chicago. A modified AMA style is used for citations.
Please send comments about this style guide to Kathy Kranzfelder, Bldg.
31, 9A06, NIDDK, NIH, Bethesda, MD 20892--2560.

## **ABBREVIATIONS**

States included as part of an address or following the name of a city in
the text or in the references are abbreviated using Postal Service
two-letter codes (***MD*,** ***DC*,** etc.). State names are spelled out
when they stand alone and are part of a narrative.

Spell out ***United States*** when used as a noun; ***U.S.*** is used
only as an adjective.

## **ACRONYMS**

Spell out acronyms and abbreviations, such as NIDDK, the first time they
appear, except in a newsletter, where they should be spelled out at
first mention in each article.

Use of ***the*** before an acronym or abbreviation is discretionary.

## Here are the usual paragraphs used for the inside back cover and the sections on other resources:

The National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Clearinghouse (NKUDIC)
\[substitute the appropriate name and abbreviation\] is a service of the
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
(NIDDK). The NIDDK is part of the National Institutes of Health under
the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1987
\[substitute the appropriate date\], the clearinghouse provides
information about diseases of the kidneys and urologic system
\[substitute the appropriate disease area\] to people with kidney and
urologic disorders \[substitute the appropriate disease area\] and to
their families, health care professionals, and the public. NKUDIC
\[substitute the appropriate abbreviation\] answers inquiries, develops
and distributes publications, and works closely with professional and
patient organizations and Government agencies to coordinate resources
about kidney and urologic diseases \[substitute the appropriate disease
area\].

Publications produced by the clearinghouse are carefully reviewed by
both NIDDK scientists and outside experts.

If outside reviewers exist for the publication, this sentence will
follow the above:

\"This fact sheet was reviewed by \[Name, Credentials,
Institution/Organization;\] and \[Name, Credentials,
Institution/Organization\].\" (or however many reviewers we are
crediting)

This publication is not copyrighted. The clearinghouse encourages users

+----------------+-----------------+-----------------+-----------------+

### **COLONS (**See **Punctuation)**

**COMMAS (**See **Punctuation)**

**COMPOUNDS**

Place a hyphen between words, or abbreviations and words, combined to
form a unit modifier that immediately precedes a word (*five-state
radius*, *high-level meeting*). Apply this rule particularly to
combinations in which one element is a present participle, such as in
*anxiety-reducing behaviors,* or a past participle, such as in
*fire-tested material*.

Where meaning is clear and readability is not aided, do not use a hyphen
to form a temporary compound. Exercise restraint in forming unnecessary
compounds of words used in normal sequence, such as *health insurance
policy, health care program,* and so on.

**DASHES (**See **Punctuation)**

**FIGURES**

Figures are illustrations of topics mentioned in the text of a document.
Figures should always have a title above the box. The figure should be
mentioned in the text. The style for figure titles is as follows:

Figure 1. Prevalence of diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetes in Mexican
Americans, United States, 1988--94

The titles should be centered above the figure. Notes to a figure are
treated as follows:

> Note: Diabetes includes both previously diagnosed diabetes and
> undiagnosed diabetes (using plasma glucose of 126 mg/dL or greater).

Simple line drawings, especially anatomical drawings, often have only a
caption at the bottom.

The kidneys remove wastes and extra water from the blood to form urine.
Urine flows from the kidneys through the ureters to the bladder.

**INTERNET**

When mentioning an Internet address in text, italicize the address so it
stands out from the rest of the text, just as you would the title of a
publication. Avoid using angle brackets, http://, or a closing slash.
Avoid placing the URL at the end of a sentence, if possible.

For capitalization of Internet terms, see **Capitalization.**

**LISTS**

Use a colon after a sentence that introduces a list.

> NKUDIC distributes the following publications:

-   *Glomerular Diseases*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   *Interstitial Cystitis*

-   *Your Kidneys and How They Work*

Do not use a colon if the list is a continuation of the sentence.

> The three booklets are

-   *What I Need to Know About Hepatitis A*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   *What I Need to Know About Hepatitis B*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   *What I Need to Know About Hepatitis C*

"Omit periods after items in a vertical list unless one or more of the
items are complete sentences. If the vertical list completes a sentence
begun in an introductory element, the final period is also omitted
unless the items in the list are separated by commas or semicolons."
(*Chicago Manual of Style*, p. 160)

> The following vegetables provide adequate fiber for a healthy diet:
>
> • beets
>
> • carrots
>
> • celery
>
> • corn
>
> • radishes

**NUMBERS**

A numeral is used for a single number of 10 or more, except when it is
the first word of a sentence.

A number lower than 10 is spelled out within a sentence, except for
units of time, money, and measurement.

Units of time, money, and measurement are always expressed in figures:

> 6 years old
>
> a 75-year-old man

3:30 p.m.

> 10 a.m. (**not** 10:00 a.m.)
>
> 2 feet
>
> 8- by I I-inch page
>
> \$9.95
>
> \$125 (not \$125.00)

When two or more numbers appear in a sentence, consistency does **not**
rule. Numbers from one through nine should be spelled out, and numbers
10 and above should be figures, except units of time, money, and
measurement.

Follow AP style guidelines:

They saw 12 zebras, three rhinos, and 37 flamingos.

They inspected four six-room units, 12 four-room units, and 15 10-room
units.

**Initial numbers:** At the beginning of a sentence, any number that
would ordinarily be written in figures is spelled out.

> One hundred ten men and 103 women will receive advanced degrees this
> quarter.

**Indefinite expressions** are spelled out.

> the eighties; the early eighties; **but** the early 1980s

African American men in their sixties are more likely to\....

> midthirties (age, years, money)

**Decades** have no apostrophe.

1990s

For typographic appearance and easy grasp of large numbers*,* the word
***million*** or ***billion*** is used.

\$25 billion

13.4 million people

**PHONE NUMBERS**

Parts of a phone number are separated by parentheses and en dashes,
except toll-free numbers, which use en dashes throughout.

**PREFERRED TERMS**

> ***African Americans***
>
> ***American Indians***

######## Asian Americans 

***Caucasians***

> ***Cuban Americans***
>
> ***Hispanic Americans*** (It is okay to use ***Hispanics*** for
> variation.)
>
> ***Mexican Americans***
>
> ***Pacific Islander Americans***
>
> ***Puerto Ricans***

***health care team***

> ***health professionals*** (**not** *doctors* or *nurses* unless
> required by context)
>
> ***older Americans*** (avoid the terms *elderly* and *seniors* if at
> all possible)
>
> ***people with diabetes*** (**not** *diabetics* or *patients*, unless
> required by context)
>
> ***blood glucose*** (**not** *blood sugar.* On first reference, *blood
> sugar* should appear parenthetically.)
>
> ***hypoglycemia*** (**not** *low blood glucose* or *low blood sugar.*
> On first reference, *low blood sugar* should appear parenthetically.)

Put the person before the disease: ***people with cancer,*** **not**
*cancer patients.*

**PRODUCT DISCLAIMER**

Place the following disclaimer at the end of the text in publications
that mention commercial products or companies:

The U.S. Government does not endorse or favor any specific commercial
product or company. Trade, proprietary, or company names appearing in
this document are used only because they are considered necessary in the
context of the information provided. If a product is not mentioned, this
does not mean or imply that the product is unsatisfactory.

**PUNCTUATION**

**Colons**

A colon may be used before a clause or a phrase that defines or explains
the clause that precedes the colon. However, a colon can be used only if
what **precedes** it is a complete sentence. This rule applies to lists
that are broken out as well as to lists that are run in. (See
**Lists.**) Unless the explanation or amplification is a complete
sentence, it should not begin with a capital letter.

To be successful, public awareness campaigns require an orchestrated
effort: The target audience must be identified, a strategy must be
devised, and materials must be developed.

Clearinghouse managers have three factors to consider: first, inquiry
response; second, materials development; and third, resource
coordination.

Always put two spaces after a colon in print materials. (Web documents
compress spacing, so this rule cannot be enforced in online documents.)

**Commas**

Use a comma in the following cases:

In a **series** of three or more words, phrases, letters, or figures

> red, white, and blue
>
> by land, by sea, or by air

In **dates** that include the month, day, and year

The meeting was held on January 28, 2000, in Washington, DC.

Between **city** and **state** names and after state names within a
sentence

> The Gainesville, FL, campus is landlocked.

With **nonrestrictive appositives**

Her husband, Bob, was involved in a research project.

To separate thousands, millions, etc., in **numbers** **of four or more
digits**

> 1,765
>
> 44,982
>
> 1,250,000

**Omit** the comma in the following instances:

> Before **Jr.**
>
> Before and after **Inc.:** John Smith Jr. visited Eagle Design &
> Management Inc. on Tuesday.
>
> Between a **state name** and the **ZIP code**
>
> Between **month** (or **season**) and **year:** July 1999; spring 1998
>
> With **restrictive appositives:** NDIC's book *Diabetes in America* is
> a bestseller.
>
> Before **abbreviations of compass directions** in an address: 1600
> Pennsylvania Avenue NW.

**Dashes**

Use an **em dash** in sentence punctuation. Here are some examples:

To indicate an **abrupt change** in thought

> For example, someone reading the booklet can skip to the treatment
> section---without having to scroll through the entire booklet---by
> simply clicking on the word *treatment* in the table of contents.

To precede a **final clause** that summarizes a series of ideas

> Inquiry response, materials development, and resource
> coordination---these are the primary functions of the NIH
> clearinghouses.

\[*Note*: Web-based documents use two hyphens in place of em dashes.\]

Use an **en dash** in the following instances:

In a **combination of figures,** including ZIP codes and phone numbers

> 20892--3560
>
> \(301\) 654--3327
>
> 1--800--555--1212
>
> pp. 35--45 (except in a reference list)
>
> NIH Publication No. 00--145 (except in a reference list)

In a **combination of capital letters**

> NBC--TV
>
> CD--ROM

In a **combination of figures and capital letters**

> exhibit A--12

\[*Note*: Web-based documents use a hyphen in place of en dashes.\]

Do **not** use en dashes to indicate a range in running text:

> The meeting runs from September 12 to 14.
>
> Please name 11 to 12 staff members.

**Periods**

Periods fall inside parentheses that enclose a complete sentence.

> (See figure 1.)

Periods fall outside parentheses that contain a sentence fragment.

Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease (nephropathy).

Do not use periods after table or figure titles. Do use periods after
captions. (See **Figures.**)

If items in a bulleted list consist of complete sentences, use periods
after each item. If these items consist of words or phrases, do not use
periods unless the phrases are long and involved. (See **Lists.**)

# 

Always put two spaces after a terminal period (i.e., at the end of a
sentence) in print materials. (Web documents compress spacing so this
rule cannot be enforced in online documents.)

# 

# Quotation Marks

Periods and commas go **inside** the closing quotation mark, while
colons and semicolons go **outside.**

> "NDDIC's mission is to provide information and education to patients,
> their families, and the general public," she said.
>
> He noted, "One of NDIC's tasks is materials development."

Two channels were running the movie "Breathless": HBO and Cinemax.

The morning session was titled "The Contracting Process"; the afternoon
session was devoted to breakout sessions, one of which was "Government
Contracting."

Whether question marks or exclamation points go inside or outside the
closing quotation mark depends on whether they are part of the
quotation.

####### I just looked at him and wondered, "Is this for real?"

> Why did he say, "That wasn't me"?

**REFERENCES**

Use American Medical Association style, except as noted below:

-   Use full journal names, not *Index Medicus* abbreviations.

-   Use full names of publishers.

-   Use Postal Service state abbreviations.

-   Use hyphens, not en dashes, in date and page ranges.

For publications citations in the Senior Scientists' Projects pages, use
all author names and move the publication date to the end of the entry
so that users can scan dates easily.

**SPACING**

Place two spaces after a period and a colon in printed documents. Place
one space after a semicolon.

\[*Note*: Web-based documents use one space after periods and colons.\]

# STYLE

Reduce jargon. Don\'t mask meaning in technology.

> a *normal x ray,* **not** *a negative x ray*
>
> *connected,* **not** *interfaced*
>
> *removal,* **not** *ablation*
>
> *vomit,* **not** *vomitus*
>
> *removal of polyps with an endoscope,* **not** *endoscopic
> polypectomy*

Use simpler words and constructions.

> *about,* **not** *approximately*
>
> *everyone,* **not** *100* *percent of persons*
>
> *include,* **not** *incorporate*
>
> *stomach lining,* **not** *lining of the stomach*
>
> *use,* **not** *utilize*

Do not smother verbs.

> *teach,* **not** *provide education*
>
> *keep records,* **not** *perform recordkeeping*
>
> *can help,* **not** *can be helpful*
>
> *can assist* or *can help,* **not** *can be of assistance*
>
> *answer,* **not** *provide answers*

Eliminate passive voice wherever possible.

Avoid judgmental words like *major* and *important.*

Avoid intensifiers like *very.*

Define referential words like *this* and *they.* Do not assume that
readers will understand what you mean. See Strunk and White, p. 61: "The
pronoun *this,* referring to the complete sense of a preceding sentence
or clause, can't always carry the load and so may produce an imprecise
statement."

Avoid constructions such as *there is, there are, it is,* or *it seems,*
especially at the beginning of the sentence.

> Staying on a meal plan is important. **Not** It is important to stay
> on a meal plan.
>
> Three drugs were administered over several months. **Not** There were
> three drugs administered over several months.

Do not refer to the document in the text of the document.

> Remember to be on time. **Not** The purpose of this memo is to remind
> you to be on time.

Avoid using the slash, especially *and/or.* Choose one or the other.

**TABLES**

A table presents information that cannot be presented as clearly in text
in any other way. Tabular material should be kept as simple as possible
so that the meaning of the data can be grasped easily by the reader. The
style for table titles is as follows:

Table 1. Hispanic-American populations in the United States and
percentage with diabetes

**TRADEMARKS** (See **Brand Names and Trademarks**)

**TYPESETTING GUIDELINES**

All NIDDK publications are set in Dutch 801. Note, however, that labels
for illustrations are set in Helvetica, that titles of fact sheets are
set in New Baskerville, and that subheads on publications lists are set
in Zapf Humanist. All text is set ragged right. Follow the style sheet
set up for each particular type of publication.

**USAGE**

> **Comprise.** A whole comprises (holds, includes, encompasses) its
> parts (e.g., NIH comprises 25 Institutes and Centers).
>
> **Incidence** vs. **prevalence.** *Incidence* is the number of new
> cases over time. *Prevalence* is the total number of people who have
> the disease at a given time.
>
> **Less** vs. **fewer.** *Less* refers to degree or to quantities that
> can be measured (less sugar in the cake), while *fewer* applies to
> things that can be counted (fewer calories).
>
> **More than** vs. **over.** *More than* is used to describe anything
> that can be counted or quantified. *Over* and *under* are used to mean
> above and underneath.
>
> **Mucous** vs. **mucus.** *Mucous* is the adjective form (e.g.,
> *mucous membrane*) and *mucus* is the noun.
>
> **Presently** vs. **currently.** *Presently* means soon (not "in the
> present"); *currently* is now. *Currently* can often be omitted.
>
> *Researchers at NIDDK are studying these drugs,* **not** *are
> currently studying these drugs*.
>
> **Which** vs. **that.** *Which* is the nondefining or nonrestrictive
> pronoun; it adds a fact about the item in question.
>
> *Peptic ulcers, which occur only rarely in children, are found in the
> stomach or duodenum.*
>
> *That* is the defining or restrictive pronoun.
>
> *Ulcers that occur in the stomach or duodenum are called peptic
> ulcers.*
