HOW TO APPLY

CSE style

The Council of Science Editors (CSE) Style is the style used by the Royal Society of New 九州影院for the journals they publish.

In-text citations

In-text examples

The most recent report (Slack 2002) on the use of鈥

Slack (2002) notes in the report that鈥

Multiple references

When several in-text references occur at the same point, give them in chronological order from earliest to latest, separated by semicolons. Sequence by month those published in the same year or, if this information is not available, alphabetically by author names.

(Dawson and Briggs 1974; Dawson and Jones 1974; Smith AL 1978; Smith GT 1978; Smith et al. 1978; Tyndall et al. 1978; Zymgomoski 1978; Brown 1980)

Page numbers

(Smith 2016, p. 6)

Page number ranges are also preceded by 鈥減.鈥 and a space, and linked with an en dash.

(Smith 2016, p. 56鈥63)

With a quotation

This is the text, and Smith (2016) says 鈥渜uoted text鈥 (p. 1), which supports my argument.

This is the text, and this is supported by 鈥渜uoted text鈥 (Smith 2016, p. 1).

This is a displayed quotation. (Smith 2016, p. 1)

One author

Smith (2016) or (Smith 2016)

Distinguish multiple works by the same author published in different years by placing the years after the author name in chronological sequence, separated by a comma and a space.

(Smith 1970, 1975)

If the authors of two works published in the same year have the same surname, include their initials in the in-text reference and separate the two in-text references by a semicolon and a space.

(Dawson J 1986; Dawson M 1986)

Two authors

Smith and Jones (2016) or (Smith and Jones 2016)

If both authors have the same surname, include their initials in the in-text reference.

(Smith TL and Smith UV 1990)

Three or more authors

Give only the first author鈥檚 name followed by et al. (not in italics) and the year of publication.

Smith et al. (2016) or (Smith et al. 2016)

Multiple works by the same author (or group of authors) in the same year

Put a, b, c, etc. after the year. The sequence is preferably determined by the sequence of publication, but if this cannot be determined, order alphabetically by article title.

(Chen 2011a, 2011b; Chen et al. 2016a, 2016b)

Organisation as author

If the organization鈥檚 name occurs several times in the document, a shortened form may be created for the in-text reference by using an abbreviation. For clarity, the abbreviation appears as the initial element in the end reference, within square brackets.

In the text: (IOM 1975)

In the reference list: [IOM] Institute of Medicine (US). 1975.

Organizations鈥 full names are acceptable in in-text references if they occur only infrequently.

(Institute of Medicine 1975)

No identifiable author

Begin the in-text reference with the first word or first few words of the title followed by an ellipsis

(Handbook鈥 2000)

Secondary source

When it is not possible to see an original document, cite the source of your information on it; do not cite the original assuming that the secondary source is correct.

Personal communication

References to personal communications are cited only in the text.

鈥 and most of these proved to be fatal (2003 letter from RS Grant to me; unreferenced, see "Notes") 鈥

Unknown date

For in-text references to publications with no date, place the words 鈥渄ate unknown鈥 within square brackets.

(Author [date unknown]).

In-text references in a table are usually most appropriately put in footnotes to the table. If in-text references must appear within the field of a table, use a separate column or row for them and supply an appropriate heading to identify them.

Reference list

Order

At the end of a document, list the references to sources that have been cited within the text, including those found in tables and figures, under the heading References.

Place references in alphabetical order by author. Alphabetical sequence is determined by the first author's surname (family name) and then, if necessary, by letter-by-letter alphabetical sequencing determined by the initials of the first author and the beginning letters of any subsequent authors' surnames.

Order references by the same author(s) by year in ascending order.

If no authors are present, order items by title, following these principles: ignore 'a', 'an' and 'the' at the beginning of a title when alphabetizing.

Form of author name

Begin with the surname (family name), followed by the initials without punctuation and without spaces, hyphens or full points between them, e.g. Author AA. Separate successive author names from each other by a comma and a space.

Author AA, Author BB.

The year of publication is required for all references. The month and day of the month (or the season) must be included only when citing a journal that has no volume or issue number, when citing a newspaper or a patent, and for dates of update/revision and citation of electronic publications.

Months are abbreviated using the first three letters and placed after the year, e.g. 2016 Feb. A range of months is linked with an en dash, e.g. Aug鈥揙ct.

If no date of publication can be found, but can be reasonably inferred from within the publication, enclose it in square brackets, e.g. [2016]:

If no date of publication can be found or inferred, use [date unknown].

Article titles

Capitalize only the first word of the title, proper nouns, proper adjectives, acronyms and initialisms. End the title with a full stop unless another closing punctuation mark is already present.

Page numbers
