Guidelines for using CSE
CSE uses three different documentation systems. Make sure to ask your professor or journal editor which one you need to use.
Citation-Sequence
References are marked in the text with a superscript number at the point of reference - e.g. McCord’s study of species1 shows... The references in the bibliography are listed in order of the corresponding number assigned in the text of the paper.
Citation-Name
References are listed alphabetically in the bibliography and assigned a number. Those numbers are used when references are cited within the text of the document. References are marked in the text with a superscript number at the point of reference - e.g. McCord’s study of species23 shows...
Name-Year
This system uses in-text citations and bibliography similar to Chicago Author/Date, APA, and MLA. Inserted at point of reference, the citation is enclosed in parentheses and includes author’s last name and the year of publication - e.g. A groundbreaking study of species (McCord 2012) shows.... In the bibliography, references are listed alphabetically.
