CSE, Council of Science Editors 7th Ed.CSEManual of Style, 7th EditionThe skinnyCost: $50 to $60Weighs 4.2 lbs658 pagesAmazon.com Reviews:the 7th edition is so poor as to render it completely useless as a reference. . Freeman[As] a science proofreader and typesetterI wonder if the rest of the book has similar mistakes [to the ones I already found]and [if] the information is reliable. . . it should be used warily. -- Javier Bezos Lopez

Final ManuscriptsPresent a paper in a format familiar to persons who read scientific literature.GOAL: DisclaimerThe basic components of an original research article are introduction, methods, results, and discussion. CSE does not specify a format for the body of a college paper, so ask your instructor for clarification. 4Text page format of essaysFonts12-point or 10-point font. The typeface is generally roman. A serif font is commonly used in publication (eg, times roman), though sans serif like Helvetica is also accepted. Indents (Varies by journal) One-half inch Spacing (Varies by journal) Double space throughout unless instructed otherwise, such as: Single space within the abstract, notes, titles and headings, block quotes, tables and figures, and references (everything but the main text), double space before and after each single spaced block. Block paragraph spacing is recommended for final manuscripts. Page numbers Every page of a research paper is numbered consecutively starting with the title page. Do not change numbering systems through the text, even with lengthy data sets or appendixes.ItalicsUsed for journal names and LatinCover pageArticle TitleBylineAuthor Affiliation and Site of ResearchAbstractBibliographic ReferenceKeywordsFinancial and Other SupportText on the Cover PageFootlineStuff in blue probably wont appear in undergraduate papers

Byline- some journals require a statement that clearly indicates the role of each author in the research --- probably doesnt apply to undergrad stuffFinancial Support- some journals (like the international committee of medical journal editors) require this information on the title page, but it can be in a footnote or in the acknowledgements for othersText- usually appears on the cover page. Dont waste space. Not figures or tables thoughFootline- should contain running foot, the title of the journal, volume and issue numbers, issue date, and copyright notice. URL and/or DOI can also be included6Style of Essay Titles, Headings and Subheadings Format Title and Major SectionFlush Left and BoldTitle Case Applies

NOTE: The third level heading is a run-in or paragraph heading7In-Text Citations: Similar to APA, in text references consist of the last name of the author or authors and the year of publication (Grogan 2012). However, a comma is not used. Works by the same author published in different years can be separated by a comma (Grogan 2010, 2012). If different works are published by the same author in the same year, add an alphabetical designator (Grogan 2012a, 2012b).In-Text Citations:Separate two authors by the word and (Grogan and McCarty, 2009).If there are more than three authors, in the text list only the first authors name, followed by et al. (Grogan et al. 2010).When several sources are used to make the same point, separate them with a semicolon (Dawson and Briggs 1974; Dawson and Jones 1974; Brown 1980).Direct Quotes in the PaperDirect quotes (in marks) must be cited with the appropriate reference EXAMPLE:The report (Jones 1988) further cited "lingering confusion about the vaccination program's aims.NOTE:Cite as close to material as possible, not necessarily at the end of the sentence.EXAMPLE:He points out that although these works are at risk for "traumatic injuries, noise-induced hearing loss, needle sticks, hydrogen sulfide and carbon monoxide poisonings, and infectious diseases, (Smith, 1990) respiratory illness is the most recognized occupational risk.Reference List BasicsPresent numbered references in alphabetical order on a separate page at the end of the manuscript.

References, Cited References, Literature Cited or BibliographyWorks with no more than ten (10) authors: include all authors' surnames and first and middle name initials separated by commas. Do not use periods for initials (Garcia EF 2011).Works with ten (10) or more authors: list only the first ten (10) names followed by "et al" or and othersSome journals only require 3-6 authorsNOTE:Remember: Some Journals Vary in their requirements!References: BOOKSAuthor(s).
