– Using CBE Style to Cite and Document Resources – Name-Year System
Include only those references that you actually read and used in your presentation. List references in alphabetical order according to the last name of the first author of the publication.
Each citation must include the names of all authors, the year of publication, and the full title of the paper, article or book. In addition, when citing books, you must report the publisher, the place of publication and the pages cited. When citing journal articles, include the name of the journal, the volume number of the journal and the page numbers consulted. If you cite several papers by the same author, list them chronologically, the most recent first. If one author has published two papers in the same year, list them for example: C.L. Harriss, 1999a and C.L. Harriss, 1999b. Note the following also:
· Spell out only the last names of authors; initials are used for first and middle names.
· Latin names, including genus and species names, are placed in italics or underlined.
· Titles of journals are NOT enclosed within quotation marks.
· Journal names may be abbreviated. Acceptable abbreviations for the titles of journals
are usually be found within the journal itself.
