The Holger H. Hoos Style Guide
For writing academic papers with Holger H. Hoos |

- Exceptions: size (sized, sizing...).
Capitalisation |
|
<
< |
- For (chapters,sections,figures,equations,tables,etc...) capitalise only when referencing a specific number. For example, in this chapter we blah blah, but in Chapter 6 we blah blah.

- Capitalise proper names, such as Hamming distance or Boolean formula.
- When you capitalise a bullet, it should be a full sentence (but not strictly) and it must end with a period.
|
|
>
> | Sectional Comments
- At the very beginning of each section, there should be a few sentences that clearly state what we are about to investigate or show, so the reader has a good reason to continue reading.
- 'glue' between sections should be placed at the beginning of a section rather than at the end
References
- Avoid using references as nouns (as in "In Smith and Jones[6]"). Instead, either something like "Smith and Jones have shown ... [6]" or "As shown in the work by Smith and Jones[6] ...". The idea is that if you were to delete all references, everything should still be grammatically correct. This makes for a more elegant style and smoother reading.
