Word Count Management

字数管理

Grant applications have strict word limits. Track counts regularly:
bash
undefined
资助申请有严格的字数限制，请定期跟踪字数：
bash
undefined

Basic word count

基础字数统计

wc -w submission/document.qmd
wc -w submission/document.qmd

Accurate count (excludes YAML header, references section, citations)

精准统计（排除YAML头部、参考文献章节、引用标记）

cat submission/document.qmd |
sed '1,/^---$/d' |
sed '/^---$/,$d' |
sed '/# References/,$d' |
sed 's/[@[^]]*]//g' |
wc -w
undefined
cat submission/document.qmd |
sed '1,/^---$/d' |
sed '/^---$/,$d' |

Writing Style

写作风格

Principles

原则

  • Simple, direct prose without unnecessary adjectives
  • One sentence per line in markdown
  • UK English spelling
  • Max 80 characters per line
  • Use 
    @placeholder
    for missing citations
  • 使用简洁直接的表述，避免冗余形容词
  • Markdown中每行一个句子
  • 使用英式英语拼写
  • 每行最多80个字符
  • 引用缺失文献时使用
    @placeholder

Example Style

示例风格

markdown
Recent outbreaks of Ebola, COVID-19 and mpox have demonstrated the value of
modelling for synthesising data for rapid evidence to inform decision making.
Methods used to synthesise available data in real time broadly fall into two
classes: either combining results from multiple, smaller models calibrated in
isolation (the _pipeline approach_, e.g., [@huisman2022]), or representing a
single model tuned to the specific scenario (the _joint model_ approach,
e.g., [@birrell2024;@Watson2024-vj]).
