23.4 common Latin expressions and abbreviations There are no standard rules on the usage of Latin words and abbreviations. Below are just some general guidelines:
Unless frequently used in your discipline, avoid less common Latin terms
• such as
ceteris paribus, sine non qua, mutatis mutandis. Some experts suggest that certain Latin words and abbreviations should
• be avoided, since many people are unaware of their true meaning. There is
certainly confusion between e.g. and
i.e . (
13.10
). To decide whether you need to italicize a Latin word, check with your
• journal’s instructions to authors and / or look in papers published by that journal. I suggest
not using italics with e.g., et al., etc, i.e., per, versus, vs., and
vice versa .
