CSE is a citation style by the Council of Science Editors and is typically used by the science disciplines, particularly biology.
There are three different styles within CSE.
- Citation-Sequence
- Citation - Name
- Name-Year
Please check with your professor to determine which citation style they prefer.
There are three methods of providing in-text citations in ACS. Please check with your professor for the preferred method.
- Citation-Sequence:
- Uses superscript numerals or a number in parentheses to identify in-text citations. The exact number is used for the corresponding reference every time it is cited. So if the first work cited is by Fraser, it will be given a ¹, or a (1) will always be Fraser¹ or Fraser (1) every time it is cited
- Fraser will then be the first entry on the Reference list since it was the first cited source
- Uses superscript numerals or a number in parentheses to identify in-text citations. The exact number is used for the corresponding reference every time it is cited. So if the first work cited is by Fraser, it will be given a ¹, or a (1) will always be Fraser¹ or Fraser (1) every time it is cited
- Name-Year:
- Uses parenthetical in-text citations that include the author's name and the year of publication
