CSE Style

You must cite each source in the text of your paper and on an "End References" page at the end of the paper:

1.     The in-text citation - provides very brief identifying information within the text.

2.     The reference list - full identifying information about each source used.

How to Format: In-Text Citations | Reference Lists

CSE Style is the writing and citing method of the Council of Science Editors. Some biology or other science instructors may require this style for papers.

There are 3 systems of style in CSE, but the name-year system is the most common and is the system covered in this guide. If you need to use a different CSE system, please refer to Scientific Style and Format Online.
