Manuscript Preparation, Copyediting, and Proofreading

Q. I’m in search of a good solid reference work for style in books in the sciences. Thanks.

A. We recommend The CSE Manual: Scientific Style and Format for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, 9th ed. (Council of Science Editors in cooperation with the University of Chicago Press, 2024).

[This answer relies on the 18th edition of CMOS (2024) unless otherwise noted.]
