This system uses numbers to refer to references. The in-text references will be numbered to correspond with the end references.
Use a superscript number for in-text references. End references are numbered based on the order in which they are cited in the text.
When the same references are used later in the text, the same number is used for the in-text references. If a document by librarian Dennis Miles is the first one mentioned in the text, its corresponding end reference will be No. 1 in the list of references at the end of the document. Wherever else that document is cited in the text, “1” will be used in a superscript to reference it.
CSE Style requires that you abbreviate journal titles. Use the NLM Catalog: Journals referenced in the NCBI Databases to identify the official abbreviation for a journal title.
