QUICK TIPS This Quick Tips section provides a brief introduction to Tașnif sources and reference guides, an overview of translation principles, and a quick reference for topics that writers, translators, and edi- tors will frequently encounter. It is by no means comprehensive. Introductory Note on Tasnif Sources The 2016 New Oxford Style Manual (OSM) published by Oxford University Press and the Islam International Publications Publisher's Note form the basic foundation of the Tașnif Department's style, writing, and publication standards. As such, it is imperative to learn and follow the OSM and the Publisher's Note. See REFERENCE A at the end of this Quick Tips section for a list of topics covered by the OSM and REFERENCE B for the list of topics covered in the Publisher's Note. This reiterates many of the topics men- tioned in References A and B as a more detailed guide for transla- tors, reviewers, and editors, but it does not enumerate many other aspects that are covered in the OSM. Readers are encouraged to obtain that source for further reference and guidance.
