| Jan 21, 2016 at 22:55 | comment | added | Skip Saillors | I am happy to refer to front matter when talking about an abstract and back matter when talking about an index. I am trying to avoid phrase like "front and back matter" or, worse, "front/back matter" when I want to discuss policies and quality standards that apply uniformly to front and back but do not apply to the body. For instance, I can say that the body represents normative text of the standard, but that the front/back is not normative. | |
