american english - Serial comma in academic papers in mathematics and computer science

1. Is there a predominant style in academic papers in computer science concerning the usage or the omission of the serial comma? What do ACM and IEEE do in general? I failed to find it out on my own.




2. Is there any style guide of an academic publisher that suggests (or prescribes) that US-English papers in the two disciplines (mathematics, computer science) omit the serial comma in general?

• Next prepositions - "...four others, one of whom responded." Is “whom” correct here? Can I use "who" instead?
• Previous hyphenation - Does "cost-benefit ratio" use a hyphen or an en-dash?
