Заранее большое спасибо!

Abbreviations
Use abbreviations sparingly. Spell out the term at first use in text, place the abbreviation in parentheses after it, then use the abbreviation in the remainder text.
Use abbreviations for geographic subdivisions (states, provinces, etc.) only when accompanied by a specific locale when the location otherwise may be unclear.
Abbreviate such words as article, volume, and section in literary references within the text when the number is cited.
Chap. 1 Vol. 9 Art. 5 Sec. 3
Abbreviate equation, figure, reference, and column when followed by a number or designating letter. Do not abbreviate table, appendix or page. Use No., not #, as an abbreviation for number.
Fig. 6 Eq. 5 Ref. 4 Col. A No. 5
Table 10 Appendix C page 57
Do not abbreviate the words day, week, month, and year; days of the week; months not used with а date; personal titles not used with а name; and states not used with а city. The exception may be in the table column headings.
Spell out and capitalize company and corporation as part of company names when they appear in а title or a person’s affiliation. Abbreviate them elsewhere in text. After the first mention, drop them entirely.
in а title on first mention thereafter
Dow Chemical Company Dow Chemical Со. Dow (or Dow Chemical)

Acronyms
Put acronyms in uppercase if they are “true” acronyms, i.e. with each letter standing for an actual word. Bring “false” acronyms into downstyle (i.e., uppercase first letter only).
OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries)
YUKOS (Yugansk, KuybyshevOrgSintez)
Arco (Atlantic Richfield Company)
Lukoil (Langepas, Uray, Kogalym oil)
In acronym names of societies and governmental agencies, do not use periods or spaces.
SPE IADC SPWLA NASA USGS
Many programming languages, some software applications, and a few other products have their names trademarked in all capital letters and are exceptions to the true acronyms rule; if the name is a trade name, capitalize the entire name—or the indicated portion of it—according to the trademarked style.
FORTRAN Macintosh OS UNIX dBASE for Windows
Use US as adjective only; spell out the United States as the noun form.
US energy policy industry of the United States
Leave the USA for designating a country in mail addresses.
See Appendix 3 and http://www.acronymfinder.com for the most common acronyms.
