CSE - Council of Science Editors

CSE Citation Quick Guide - Washington State University Libraries

CSE Citation Name is a numbered style.  Citations are ordered alphabetically in the References at the end of the paper and are numbered. In the body of the paper, citations are referred with a superscript number that connects to the citations found in the Reference List. If using RefWorks, we recommend using the Word or Google doc plug in.

CSE Citation Sequence is a numbered style.  Citations are ordered in the References in the order they are used in the paper.  If you use a resource more than once, you only assign it one number.  If using RefWorks, we recommend using the Word or Google doc plug-ins.

CSE Name-Year Sequence is NOT a numbered style.  Citations are included in text e.g. with last name(s) and year of publication.  Citations are included in the References alphabetically without any script numbering.  This style will work well with RefWorks QuickCite.  You can als use the Word or Google doc plug-ins from RefWorks.
