OnLine English Hints and Tips

• Use abbreviations only for terms mentioned four times or more in your paper.
• Use them consistently throughout the paper.
• Check whether the journal permits some abbreviations to be used without definition (e.g., DNA).
• Define abbreviations at first use in both the abstract and text.
• Once you define an abbreviation, use the abbreviation and not the full term.
