1. Contractions 단축형 are not used in research writing.
2. Do not use batang, gulim, or malgun gothic fonts.
3. The format of abbreviations 생략형
4. The format of figures and tables
5. International format for measurements in the sciences
6. Incorrect use of < > in titles and subheadings
Index to common punctuation errors
1. The clause in English
2. Using commas
3. How to use a colon and a semi-colon in a list
4. Punctuation of equations
5. British and American English quotation marks
6. IEEE and APA style reference format basics
7. How to use an En dash (–) and an Em dash (—)
31. Contractions 단축형
Contractions (shortened forms of words) are not used in research
writing. Always spell words fully.
However, contractions are considered acceptable for personal and
most business and newspaper writing as well as TOEFL, GRE, or
IELTS essay tests. Teaching materials also often use contractions.
Note the following:
X: don’t
→ do not
X: can’t
→ cannot (  note that this is one word)
42. Don’t use “batang, gulim or malgun gothic” fonts
“ 바탕, 굴림 or 맑은 고딕”The fonts
are common defaults for English on Korean
computers but should not be used for
English documents.
• Times (new roman) is the standard for
academic body text and Ariel is usually
used for headings for Windows users.
• Helvetica is a popular choice for Apple
users.
• Calibri is Microsoft’s own default choice for
Word 2007 but is not recommended.
There are different standards for web and print documents, and for
academic and creative design. For the history of fonts see

63.2 Abbreviations:
Don’t introduce abbreviations for words that are only used once
If a word is only used once in a paper, acknowledgement, or abstract
section then there is no need to introduce the abbreviation. The
abstract is not considered part of a paper since we can read it
separately and it doesn’t contain references. Any abbreviations
introduced in the abstract need to be introduced again in the body of
the paper.
As another example, there is no need for the abbreviations below
since the words are obviously only used once in this paper.

EXAMPLE
Table captions are on the top.
Figure captions are on the bottom.
