How to use this guide

The RMIT Open Press Style Guide sets out the preferred style for your open publication manuscript.  Use it in conjunction with the Australian Style Guide[1] (free registration required).

Specifically, the RMIT Open Press Style Guide sets out:

  • where you should do things differently than described in the Australian Style Guide
  • aspects which are not covered in the Australian Style Guide.
Note: If you wish to use another style guide as the basis for your open publication, please discuss this the Open Education library team and we will work with you.
