New Oxford Dictionary for Scientific Writers and Editors, 2nd ed, 2009, "a comprehensive and authoritative style guide for students, professionals, and publishers working with writing in the fields of physics, chemistry, botany, zoology, biochemistry, genetics, immunology, microbiology, astronomy, mathematics, and computer science...As far as possible this complies with the house style of the Oxford University Press; it also follows the recommendations of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature, and the International Codes of Nomenclature of Cultivated Plants, of Prokaryotes, and of Viruses. The dictionary is not intended to be a dictionary of science; many of the entries have only a brief definition, no definition at all, or sometimes an identifying subject label. Full definitions for most of the terms found in this dictionary will be found in A Dictionary of Science (OUP, 5th edn, 2005) or the Concise Medical Dictionary (OUP, 7th edn, 2007)."
