Usage of brackets in official documents

National standards stipulate that brackets are words that mark the annotation part of the text; they are also used to mark some words with special functions or meanings. The brackets in the title of the official document are to supplement, explain or explain the content of the title. They are an integral part of the title and are indispensable. They are a description of the maturity of the document content.

For example: "Notice of the Municipal People's Government on the Management Measures for Housing Provident Fund (Trial Implementation)"

The "Trial Implementation" means that this "Measures" is not yet complete in some places , it has yet to be revised and supplemented during the actual implementation process. In drafted official documents, brackets are used incorrectly, and many of them are due to improper placement.

Place explanatory words such as "draft for comments", "discussion draft", "revised draft", "interim" and "draft for review" outside the book title number instead of within the book title number, which damages the nature of the title. Integrity.

For example: "× Provincial Department of Education's Notice on Forwarding the Code of Conduct for Students in Colleges and Universities of the Ministry of Education" (Trial).

Placing (Trial) outside the book title number separates it from the close relationship it should have with the content of the title, damaging the integrity of the title. In another case, the explanatory words in the title are mostly placed at the end of the question, but they can also appear in the question. Use parentheses only at the end of the question, not within the question.

For example, "Interim Measures for the Handling of Official Documents of National Administrative Agencies" cannot be written as "Interim Measures for the Handling of Official Documents of National Administrative Agencies". There is also a title that uses two descriptive words, such as "xx Province's Report on xx (Draft for Review) (Draft for Discussion)", which makes people confused.

Generally speaking, the draft submitted for review is a draft that has been revised after discussion. It is close to the final draft, but before it is officially submitted, due to the importance of the matter, I hope to hear from the higher authorities again. This is not a discussion draft, so there is a difference between the two.
