BS 4811:1972

This standard BS 4811:1972 Specification for the presentation of research and development reports is classified in these ICS categories:

• 01.140.30 Documents in administration, commerce and industry

This British Standard specifies requirements for the presentation, format and production of research and development reports on any topic. No attempt has been made to provide a manual of literary style.

There are other types of record and document, for example bibliographies or computer programs, which do not fall entirely within the definition below but which, if it is expedient to do so, may be included in a research and development report series. If so they should as far as possible comply with relevant sections of this standard. However, those types of record and document which are the subject of separate British Standards should comply with them: for example BS 2509, BS 4719, BS 4755 and BS 4821.

NOTE The titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard are given on page ii.
