CZ:Editorial Council Resolution 0011
From Citizendium, the Citizens' Compendium
Contents |
The resolution
Whereas, CZ wishes to promote a professional image, which requires some consistency of style and format of articles;
Whereas, different disciplines may require different approaches, thus ruling out a common standard for all articles, even within the same workgroup;
Whereas, general guidance for authors remains limited, and is easier to develop within workgroups;
Resolved, That Citizendium will develop a range of workgroup stylesheets for the guidance of authors and editors
Method of execution
The Council will call for a lead editor in each workgroup, to oversee and develop the stylesheet or stylesheets for that workgroup
