Editorial Style

A shared University style helps writers, editors and communicators present NEOMED clearly and professionally. It shows care for language and consistency in how we share our message.

This guide is a living document that will evolve as new words and communication needs arise.

Use this guide first when you have a style question. It’s based on The Associated Press Stylebook. For spelling and hyphenation, use The Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

If the NEOMED guide differs from these sources, follow NEOMED. If your question isn’t answered, check AP or Merriam-Webster—or contact the Office of Marketing and Communications at [email protected] for help.
