Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Do I still have to explain abbreviations in the text if I have a list?<\/h3>\n

No, if you have a list, the abbreviations are explained there, so you do not need to explain them again in the text.<\/p>\n

Which abbreviations should be included in my list?<\/h3>\n

You should include all subject-specific abbreviations. Common abbreviations listed in the dictionary (such as \u201ce.g.\u201d, \u201ci.e.\u201d or \u201cetc.\u201d) do not need to be included.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
