Directory to CSE-style references

The citations in the text of an essay correspond to items on a list titled References, which starts on a new page at the end of the essay. Continue to number the pages consecutively, center the title References one inch from the top of the page, and double-space before beginning the first entry.

The order of the entries depends on which format you follow:

Citation-sequence format: number and list the references in the order the references are first cited in the text.
Citation-name format: list and number the references in alphabetical order.
Name-year format: list the references, unnumbered, in alphabetical order.

In the following examples, you will see that both the citation-sequence and citation-name formats call for listing the date after the publisher’s name in references for books and after the periodical name in references for articles. The name-year format calls for listing the date immediately after the author’s name in any kind of reference.

CSE style also specifies the treatment and placement of the following basic elements in the list of references:

Author. List all authors last name first, and use only initials for first and middle names. Do not place a comma after the author’s last name, and do not place periods after or spaces between the initials. Use a period after the last initial of the last author listed.
Title. Do not italicize titles and subtitles of books and titles of periodicals. Do not enclose titles of articles in quotation marks. For books and articles, capitalize only the first word of the title and any proper nouns or proper adjectives. Abbreviate and capitalize all major words in a periodical title.

As you refer to these examples, pay attention to how publication information (publishers for books, details about periodicals for articles) and other specific elements are styled and punctuated.

Digital sources

Directory to CSE-style references

These examples use the citation-sequence or citation-name system. To adapt them to the name-year system, delete the note number and place the update date immediately after the author’s name.

The basic entry for most sources accessed through the Internet should include the following elements:

Author. Give the author’s name, if available, last name first, followed by the initial(s) and a period.
Title. For book, journal, and article titles, follow the style for print materials. For all other types of electronic material, reproduce the title that appears on the screen.
Medium. Indicate, in brackets, that the source is not in print format by using a designation such as [Internet].
Place of publication. The city usually should be followed by the two-letter abbreviation for the state. No state abbreviation is necessary for well-known cities such as New York, Chicago, Boston, and London or for a publisher whose location is part of its name (for example, University of Oklahoma Press). If the city is implied, put the city and state in brackets. If the city cannot be inferred, use the words place unknown in brackets.
Publisher. For material other than journal articles from Web sites and online databases, include the individual or organization that produces or sponsors the site. If no publisher can be determined, use the words publisher unknown in brackets.
Dates. Cite three important dates, if possible: either the date that the publication was placed on the Internet or the copyright date; the most recent date of any update or revision; and the date that the publication was accessed by you.
Page, document, volume, and issue numbers. When citing a portion of a larger work or site, list the inclusive page numbers or document numbers of the specific item being cited. For journals or journal articles, include volume and issue numbers. If exact page numbers are not available, include in brackets the approximate length in computer screens, paragraphs, or bytes: [2 screens], [10 paragraphs], [332K bytes].
Address. Include the URL or other electronic address; use the phrase Available from: to introduce the address. Only URLs that end with a slash are followed by a period.

12. Material from an online database

For the basic format for citing an article from a database, see the source map. (Because CSE does not provide guidelines for citing an article from an online database, this model has been adapted from CSE guidelines for citing an online journal article.)
