    Do you put Open and Close Nemeth Indicators around operation signs in a list? Ex. What is the meaning of +, -, etc.?

    Yes, the Guidance for Transcription Using the Nemeth Code within UEB Contexts tells us to transcribe in Nemeth Code "isolated signs of operation or comparison when mentioned in reference to [any mathematical expression or chemical formula]." So, for your example, I would open Nemeth Code after the word "of" and close it before the comma following the minus sign.

    Thank you for your question.
