Don't use 'since' except where time is involved, use 'because' instead.

Use 'that' for restrictive clauses (not which) except for clarity in repeated constructs, eg., that x which y.

Use "to X" instead of "in order to X" (except in titles and headings).

Use Oxford or so-called serial comma.

American spelling and punctuation as default.

APA style as default (e.g., tables), wtih the following exceptions

Oxford style for chapter headings

References are outdented, not indented
