reader by a repetition of long, cumbersome words or phrases. The nature of the publication governs the extent to which abbreviations are used. In ordinary text, abbreviations are to be avoided, with a few exceptions; in formal usage even fewer abbreviations are required; in the text of technical publications and in parentheses, footnotes, sidenotes, tables, leader work, and bibliographies many words are commonly abbreviated. Cut-in side heads, tables of contents, and indexes are regarded as text. Some scientific, technical, and industrial groups have adopted definite forms of abbreviations for terms in their specialized fields, and these forms are acceptable for use in publications falling within the respective classes. Capitalization, hyphenation, period, and spacing. 59. In general, an abbreviation follows the capitalization and hyphenation of the word or words abbreviated.
