The journal to which a paper has been submitted has the final decision about the style and formatting of a text. If the author refuses to adopt that style and format, the article may not be published. Quotations Quotations should not be longer than 3 lines. When quoting, try to use only one line and then summarize. Show the relevance of the quotation to your paper.
Lengthy quotations fill up space.
Should the quotation be too long, break it up into several parts and comment on each of the parts. Quote material only if it's essential to do so. Acronyms and Abbreviations Be aware of the introduction of terms that require definitions. When introducing an abbreviation, first provide the full name and then give the abbreviation. The reader must be able to concentrate on your ideas rather than on trying to remember acronyms.
