Bibliography

The Bibliography aims to support the implementation of the ISO Plain Language Standard especially with resources that provide empirical evidence for the guidelines in the Standard and illustrate how authors and organizations can apply a principle or a guideline

This page is structured according to themes that relate to the Standard. Resources can fall under more than one theme.

Please note that the bibliography is a work in progress. It is intended to be a living document, with new resources continuously added.

We will review the suggestions periodically and add them to the bibliography if they meet our criteria.

The resource must be scientifically sound, and it must provide empirical evidence for the guidelines in the Standard, or illustrate how authors and organizations can apply a principle or a guideline.

If you have any other comments on the bibliography, we welcome all suggestions at bibliography@iplfederation.org. Creating a bibliography is never a clear-cut exercise and we’re always looking to improve upon it.
