Example of a Book Chapter by Same Authors in Year-Name Sequence:
Willey, JM, Sherwood, L, Woolverton, CJ, Prescott, LM. 2017. Prescott's microbiology. 10th ed. New York (NY): Mcgraw-Hill Education. Chapter 11, Catabolism: energy release and conservation; 227-250.
Please refer to the class assignment (i.e. address the questions and rubric) to guide you in writing your paper. Some general suggestions for writing a paper in CSE style:
Use double-spacing throughout the entire paper.
Use 1 in. margins and a 12-point font.
Type the page number in the top right corner of the page.
On the first page, include your name, date, the name of the course, and title of the paper (centered).
Body of the paper:
Use the passive voice.
Good example: “Water samples were collected at depths of 1 meter, 10 meters, and 30 meters."
Bad example: "They collected water samples from three different depths of water. They went to depths of 1 meter, 10 meters, and 30 meters.”
References (some general tips):
Italicize scientific names and capitalize the first word.
List all authors in the order they appear on the publication if there are ten or fewer authors. If there are more than eleven authors, list the first ten followed by et.al.
If there is not an individual author(s), provide the corporate author or name of the agency or organization who published the work. If the date is unknown, put date unknown in square brackets in the citation where the date should be: [date unknown]
Abbreviate journal titles (please consult "Sources for Obtaining Journal Title Abbreviations" box below).
Include the DOI, when available.
Review your paper carefully. Try reading your paper aloud (it should not sound like a lab manual or a personal essay) and, if possible, ask your classmates to help proofread it before submitting it. Visit the Writing Center (ground floor, Bierce Library).
Council of Science Editors (CSE) Style member journals use three formats of citations. For the Small Things Considered assignment, we will use the Name-Year format/sequence (see example below). In the N-Y format, author names are followed by the year of publication.
