{style.guide} Abbreviations
"Another notion of the image Jacobian is the interaction matrix as used by Espiau et al. [6]."
It may seem obvious to all of my readers, but to me it still is a bit ambiguous how to correctly write the above sentence in a scientific document (even after checking The Mayfield Handbook of Technical and Scientific Writing)
RULE: If an abbreviation ending in a period comes at the end of a sentence, do not attach an additional period to the sentence.
So, should I write it as follows?
"Another notion of the image Jacobian is the interaction matrix as used by Espiau et al [6]."
Soliciting help here, ne1? BTW, have I used "notion of" phrase correctly? I am starting to suspect everything! Is this air I am breathing now? Do I really exist? What is existence? Ahhh, midnight madness!

Farid, punctually you have too many points at the end of your sentence! This is just to second your statement :-)
Farhad, where did you get this? :D I have been thinking about you quite often recently. Holloween's close and these pumpkins remind me of your face.
