The main purpose of the Style Guide for IDRC Editors and Proofreaders is to ensure that material published by IDRC is presented in a coherent and consistent manner, upholding the high standards of the Centre, the world of international scholarly publishing, and the English language. Its secondary purpose is to serve as a reference tool for IDRC staff who wish to clarify questions of style in the English language and for other scholarly publishers and editing professionals around the world.

IDRC does not have an equivalent style guide in French. For French-language style points, see the Directives pour la préparation d'un manuscrit à soumettre au CRDI.

The IDRC style guide is constantly evolving. It has undergone countless modifications in format and content, and is now exclusively available online. If you wish to have a paper copy, please feel free to download and print all of the files listed below. The online style guide encapsulates many years of hard work and experience on the part of the staff of IDRC, particularly its editorial staff. If you have any comments, questions, or suggestions about this guide, send an email to Bill Carman, IDRC Publisher.
