Lists allow you to emphasize important ideas. They also increase the readability of text by simplifying long sentences or paragraphs and adding aesthetic passive space to make reading more pleasant. However, using the wrong kind of list or poorly formatting a list can create confusion rather than enhance readability.

List items should be double-spaced and indented . 5 inch. If complete sentences, begin each list item with a capital letter as you would a regular sentence and insert final punctuation (usually a period) at the end of each list item.

When writing a list, it is important to be clear and concise. Each item on the list should be stated simply and directly. The items on the list should be parallel in structure, meaning they should all be the same type of thing. For example, if you are listing the steps in a recipe, each step should be a verb phrase.

Considerations Introduce the list. Introduce the list with a full sentence. No single item lists. Don't use an ordered or unordered (bulleted) list for only one item. Item content must be succinct. Connect items appropriately. No more than 7 items without a break. Use parallel construction within a list.

Run-In Lists: These are discoursed within the paragraphs of your writing and are usually separated with semicolons and initiated with a colon. Here's an example: My dog has three hobbies: (1) chewing his squeaky toy; (2) begging for treats; and (3) running around in circles at the dog park.

The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988) defines the author of a work as the person who created it. The author as creator is not always the owner of a work, although it is usually the case that they are the first owner of copyright unless employed, in which case the employer is (see below).

Author assigns copyright to the publisher (copyright transfer agreement) Generally, when publishing a book, the author grants the publisher a licence. Whereas it is common for authors to assign copyright in journal articles to the journal or publisher.

As a general rule, the author of a literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work is the first copyright owner. For photographs, 'the person who took the photograph' is the author.

It depends. Was it the publisher or the author(s)? If a book, likely copyright is still held by the author. If it is the publisher, whoever acquired the assets from the defunct publisher will probably own the rights. Intellectual property is an asset.
