| Summary: | The World Bank Group Publications Editorial Style Guide is an essential reference
for manuscript editors (substantive and mechanical editors), proofreaders, and
production editors. It is a supplement to other editorial references, in particular,
The Chicago Manual of Style (annual subscription available online), 17th edition,
and Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary, 11th edition. It focuses on issues
specific to the World Bank/International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(IBRD) or for which Chicago provides multiple options.
The professional recommendations made in the guide are designed to meet the
following objectives: • To ensure that every publication achieves a standard of professionalism
appropriate for the World Bank and on par with the publications of similar
organizations, • To ensure stylistic consistency, primarily within individual publications and
secondarily across all World Bank publications, • To increase efficiency by eliminating the need to repeatedly address the same stylistic details for every publication. |
