Summary
The cardinal points – 12 in all – focus the authors on what primarily must be kept in mind when going through the whole business of preparing and publishing a paper. The last words deal with the need for the paper to be presented in the best idiomatic English. This leads on to giving references that cover different aspects of writing and publishing a paper, including that of the best use of language.
