Acronyms

Try to avoid the use of acronyms. You yourself may be over-familiar with a particular set of acronyms. However, SklogWiki is open to all, and acronyms can be confusing and/or off-putting. SklogWiki pages have no space restrictions, unlike published papers; so always expand your acronym.

Notation

Try try use, where possible, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry approved nomenclature and symbols. For example, in the IUPAC Compendium of Chemical Terminology, popularly known as the Gold Book, the Helmholtz free energy is now known as the Helmholtz energy (function) ().

Equations

Indent equations by placing a colon before the equation.

DOI and References
