The Council of Scientific Editors (CSE) style is primarily used in the biological sciences, and .guides how both the End References (Bibliography) and the In-text References are formatted. CSE has three different systems: Citation-Sequence, Citation-Name and Name-Year.
This class is using the CSE Name-Year system for your assignments. In the End References, the primary difference is in the location of the year.
Examples:
Citation-Sequence System, and Citation-Name System
Smart N, Fang ZY, Marwick TH. A practical guide to exercise training for heart failure patients. J Card Fail. 2003;9(1):49-58.
Name-Year System
Smart N, Fang ZY, Marwick TH. 2003. A practical guide to exercise training for heart failure patients. J Card Fail. 9(1):49-58.
In true CSE style, you would use the official abbreviation for the journal name in the citation - as shown in the examples above.
For this class, you are using a modified version of the Name-Year system - use the full name of the journal in your citations.
For this class, use the CSE (Council of Science Editors) Citation Style, slightly simplified. Use the full journal title in your references for this course, but be aware that true CSE Style usually requires you to use official journal title abbreviations.
Basic form: Journal Articles - CSE Style / Name-Year System
Author name(s). Year. Article title. Journal name.
volume(issue):page numbers.
AUTHOR NAMES
List authors by last name followed by first and middle initials if given
Use a space, not a comma after the author's last name..
Put a comma between the author names and use a period after the last author.
List the authors in the order shown in the original article and citation.
YEAR Use the year of publication.
TITLE OF THE ARTICLE
Capitalize ONLY the first word of the title, proper names, proper adjectives, acronyms, initialisms, and genus names. Genus species names are also italicized.
Examples: Cascade Lake, genus Syphysodon, Holm Oaks (Quercus ilex)
SUBTITLE OF THE ARTICLE, if present
Subtitles are separated from the title by a colon, followed by a space, unless a question mark or exclamation point is already present. Do not capitalize the first word of a subtitle.
Example: Maggot therapy: a review of the therapeutic applications of fly
larvae in human medicine
Example: Does maggot therapy promote wound healing? the clinical and
cellular evidence.
NAME OF THE JOURNAL Use the full name of the journal, not the abbreviation.
Capitalize the significant words of the journal name.
VOLUME(ISSUE)
Issues may be represented by numbers or a chronological name, such as March, June, Spring or Fall. Not all publications have an issue number/name designation.
PAGE NUMBERS
List the page range, not just the starting page number, i.e. starting page number-ending page number. There is a colon after the Volume(issue) and before the Page range numbers.
SOME EXAMPLES
Single Author:
Pelkonen A. 2011. Allergies in summer. Duodecim. 127(13):1355-1360.
Multiple Authors, with two to ten authors:
Andrade JP, Berkov S, Viladomat F, Codina C, Zuanazzi JA, Bastida J.
2011. Alkaloids from Hippeastrum papilio. Molecules. 16(8):7097-7104.
More than 10 Authors: List the first ten authors followed by the phrase "et al."
Walker SM, Durham SR, Till SJ, Roberts G, Corrigan CJ, Leech SC,
Krishna MT, Rajakulasingham RK, Williams A, Chantrell J, et al. 2011.
Immunotherapy for allergic rhinitis. Clinical and Experimental
Allergy. 41(9):1177-1200.
For this course, use this more detailed citation style only if the article is from one of the "online only" journals, where the citation does NOT use traditional page numbers, and uses an article ID or article number instead.
Online only journal articles - CSE style / Name-Year System:
Author name(s). Year. Article title. Journal name [Internet].
[cited date]; volume(issue):page numbers.
Available from: web address. DOI:
[Internet]. Should be placed after the journal name, with a space between the
journal name, with a space between the journal name and the [Internet].
designator. Notice the period following the designator.
CITED DATE Should be the date accessed/viewed online.
ARTICLE NUMBER Some online only journal articles use an article ID number
instead of page numbers.
PAGE NUMBERS Some "online only" journals do use volume numbers, and the articles
have page numbers, like print journals, but the page range for every article in
the journal starts with page 1. In that case, there is usually an Article Number,
though you may have to go to the full-text article to find it.

DOI (Digital Object Identifier) - a unique identifier for that specific article
Some articles will show the DOI number, often on the article pages,
and with the citation information.
