 when to use Hyphen-minus between two words?
Dear Forum Users,
I had a scientific article published recently and I was a bit confused after I received the galley proofs.
While I had consistently written side-chain or side-chains (or backbone-side-chain interactions) in the article, I was consequently corrected to:
1. side-chain (this was kept)
2. side chains (no hyphen-minus)
3. backbone-side chain interactions
Especially when side chains has no hyphen-minus puzzles me.
Kind regards
Markus
