Citing Sources: CSE/CBE

CSE (Council of Science Editors, formerly CBE) Style is a citation style commonly used in the Life Sciences.

CSE has two types of formats: Name/Year and Citation Sequence.

• Ask your instructor which CSE citation format he/she prefers.
• Create a title page with the paper title near top, your name at the center, and your class, instructor, and date at bottom. Center align all title page text.
• For the following pages, insert a running header including paper title and page number, and align right.
• (Citation sequence only) Prepare a footnote each time you cite something in the text. To do this in Word, enter the endnote number in the text (i.e. 1). Highlight the number, open your Font menu, and select Superscript.
• Prepare a Bibliography (references) page; if using Citation Sequence, list your sources in the order in which you cite them.

IN THE LIBRARY:

Author last name and Year go in parenthesis after citation.

Example:

Although women can compete with men in the workplace and receive higher education, they are subjugated to a societal pressure from advertisements and the media that bases their self-worth on their appearance. This results in an unhealthy infatuation with women's appearance that hinders their ability to succeed (Wolf 1991).

The citation sequence format uses footnotes. However, the footnotes do not appear with in the text of your paper, but in your bibliography. Your references will be listed in the order in which they appear in your paper, rather than alphabetical. If you refer to a previously cited source in your paper, the number you use for the foot note must be the same as the previously cited source.

Example:

 Although women can compete with men on many levels, they are subjugated to a societal pressure from advertisements and the media that bases their self-worth on their appearance¹. For example, women comprise over 85% of those suffering eating disorders². Wolf argues that this is largely due to our society's "cult-like" obession with thinness¹.
