New HPS Publications Style Guide

Visit the Health Physics Society (HPS) website to check out the newly updated HPS Publications Style Guide. Intended for anyone writing for HPS publications, this guide covers the style used for items posted on hps.org, written for Health Physics News, and submitted for the Health Physics Journal.

The most important sections with which to familiarize yourself if you are preparing items for hps.org:

  • Section I.H: References, Citations, Resources, Footnotes, and Press Releases
  • Section VI: About SI Units
  • Section II: Specific Guidelines for Health Physics News and HPS Website
  • Section IV: Specific Guidelines for Ask the Experts Website
  • Appendix A: Word List

Use Appendix C: Reference Examples if you are preparing a posting that has references. It will help guide you in putting them in the correct format.
