LITERATURE CITED FORMAT
Manuscripts should follow the name-year reference format of the Council of Science Editors
(formerly Council of Biology Editors). Cite only necessary publications. Primary rather than secondary
references should be cited, when possible. It is acceptable to cite work that is “in press” (i.e., accepted but
not yet published) with the pertinent year and volume number of the reference. Work that is “submitted”
but not yet accepted should not be cited.
In text. Cite publications in text with author name and year. Three or more authors use “et al.”
In parenthetical citations, separate author and year with a comma. Use suffixes a, b and c to separate
publications in same year by the same author. Semi-colons separate citations of different authors. Cite two
or more publications of different authors in chronological sequence, from earliest to latest. For example:
• The starch granules are normally elongated in the milk stage (Brown, 1956).
• Smith et al. (1994) reported growth on vinasse.
• ...and work (Dawson and Briggs, 1984,1987) has shown that . . .
• ...and work (Dawson, 1984; Briggs, 1999) has shown that . . .
In Literature Cited section. List only those literature cited in the text. References should be
listed alphabetically by the first author’s last name. Single author precedes same author with co-authors.

journal in bold letters. Let the text wrap with first line hanging indented. Use the following format.
