The General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) has released the Editorial Policy for Content Writing and Translation, along with the Numbers Writing Guide, to streamline the development of statistical content such as publications, reports, and indices, according to a GASTAT press release.
These resources also seek to share information on linguistic and technical aspects of statistical content writing. The incorporation of scientific and technical language aligns with GASTAT’s identity and vision. The King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language thoroughly reviewed both manuals.
The Numbers Writing Guide and Editorial Policy release shows GASTAT’s dedication to improving statistical practices and providing essential tools. These efforts involve offering linguistic insights in a clear manner and encouraging the use of modern scientific terms in statistical discourse. The goal is to present statistical information clearly for those working with statistical and economic content.
According to the release, t
he Editorial Policy for Content Writing and Translation offers a concise scientific overview of key linguistic rules drawn from traditional linguistic sources and simplified for better clarity. It comprises three primary sections: guidelines for writing and editing content in Arabic, instructions for editing press and media materials, and guidelines for translating content from Arabic to English.
These guides can help those interested in the Arabic language improve their writing skills in various areas. These resources serve as comprehensive references for statistics and writing, editing, journalism, and media content creation.
“This release reaffirms GASTAT’s commitment to advancing the statistical sector and ensuring accessibility to data and information in Arabic and English, characterized by simplicity, clarity, and robust scientific foundation,” reads the release.
