Revision 36 for 'Style guide and help'
Style guide and help
The style guide at radiopaedia.org is a document that aims to set out guidelines to help authors write content in a uniform way such that there is cohesiveness across the whole site.
Articles
Articles are the meat of Radiopaedia.org. This is where we link together our collective knowledge to form meaningful
- article structure
- eponymous syndromes
- references
- synonyms
- stub
- numbers and operators
- a note on figures / percentages
In an attempt to be even more open about what articles we rate and which we think need more work, we have implemented a star rating system for our articles.
Cases
Good cases are vital for Radiopaedia.org. All articles need good images from great cases. But, cases are so much more than just a simple image to demonstrate a single point. They allow you to summarise patient presentation, symptomatology, image findings and then link that back to articles that are relevant.
- anatomy of the perfect case
- patient confidentiality
- text
- images
- attributes and selection tools
General principles
Useful resources / programs
- Zotero: extract and format references automatically (Firefox add-on)
