Style

Download the AUR Style Guide at aur.nteu.org.au/submissions.

Use ‘per cent’ rather than ‘%’ in the text. Use ‘%’ in tables and figures. Use ‘s’ rather than ‘z’ in words such as ‘organise’, ‘analyse’, ‘recognise’ etc. Use a single space at the end of sentences.

Use single quotation marks. Use double quotation marks for quotes within a quote. Indent quotes of more than 50 words.

Dates thus: 30 June 2020.

Authors should ensure that the material cited in the text matches the material listed in the References. Neither male nor female pronouns should be used to refer to groups containing persons of both sexes. Do not use numbered sections. Do not use underlining.

Do not use footnotes, endnotes or any headers or footers except for page numbers (bottom of page, centred). Avoid use of abbreviations, except for well-known organisations or processes.

Tables & figures

Tables and figures should be incorporated into the text close to where they are first referred. In general, ‘tables’ comprise data, and ‘figures’ comprise everything else (graphs, photographs, etc.).

Do not refer to position of tables/ figures (e.g. ‘above’, ‘left’).

Tables and figures should have separate numbered sequences, with titles above for tables, and below for figures.

Figures should be prepared for black and white print. Graphs with coloured bars are often illegible in black-andwhite print.
