Author-date citations

A References section is needed if you cite others works in your poster, unless you inserted an abbreviated reference directly into the text. If you include citations in only one section of your poster (e.g., the Introduction), the References section can be placed at the end of that section otherwise, include the references at the end or bottom of your poster. Format the references with the citation format used in the poster number them in citation order (if you used numerical citations) or arrange them alphabetically (if you used author—date citations). Because of space limitations, references may be abbreviated. Consider the following examples for a poster with numerical citations ... 

The third ACS-approved approach to citing the literature is to use authors last names and year of publication (author name, year). This format is relatively uncommon in ACS journals but is frequently used in journals of other scientihc disciplines, such as Ecology and Reviews of Modern Physics. With the author—date citation technique, the authors last names, followed by a comma, a space, and the year of publication are placed in parentheses (or brackets in some journals). Publications with three or more authors are referred to by the last name of the first author, followed by et ah, a comma, and the year. Multiple citations are separated by semicolons and listed in alphabetical order (by first author). 

Examine the author-date citations in the following passage. Correct inappropriate formatting. 

References for author-date citations are listed in alphabetical order. 

With In-text author-date citations, list references In alphabetical order by last name ofthe first author. 

For author-date citations, list your references alphabetically. 

Determine the citation format that you will use throughout your written work (superscript numbers, italic numbers in parentheses, author-date, or some variation). Find out if your targeted journal, funding agency, or conference has a preference. 

Are citations and references formatted in a parallel fashion Have you used only one citation format throughout (superscript numbers, italic numbers in parentheses, or author-date format) ... 

Wtith the Internet, it is easy to download text into a file on your conputer. To cite this material properly in your report, you must be sure to keep enough authorship data in the file to be able to write the citation. At a minimum, you should include the Internet address (URL) so that you can go back and obtain the author, date, and other information. 

The fir.-fit line of the file (see Figure 2-110) - the HEADER record - hold.s the moleculc. s classification string (columns 11-50), the deposition date (the date when the data were received by the PDB) in columns 51-59, and the PDB (Dcode for the molecule, which is unique within the Protein Data Bank, in columns 63-66. The second line - the TITLE record - contains the title of the experiment or the analysis that is represented in the entry. The subsequent records contain a more detailed description of the macromolecular content of the entiy (COMPND), the biological and/or chemical source ofeach biological molecule in the entiy (SOURCE), a set ofkeywords relevant to the entiy (KEYWDS). information about the experiment (EXPDTA), a list of people responsible for the contents of this entiy (.AUTHOR), a history of modifications made to this entiy since its release (REVDAT), and finally the primaiy literature citation that describes the experiment which resulted in the deposited dataset ()RNL). 

The CAAA90 contains a broad array of authorities to make the law more readily enforceable, thus bringing it up to date with the other major environmental statutes. EPA has new authorities to issue administrative penalty orders up to U.S. 200,000 and field citations up to U.S. 5,000 for lesser infractions. Civil judicial penalties are enhanced. Criminal penalties for knowing violations are upgraded from misdemeanors to felonies, and new criminal authorities for knowing and negligent endangerment will be established. 

He cites authorities profusely, and this is of importance from the fact that Petrus Bonus seems to have been a writer whose personality and date are generally accepted as genuine. The work bears all the character of an earnest and honest treatise. Authors whom he cites, he cites very frequently. Thus the works of (pseudo-) Geber,written probably about 1300, are very often quoted, and apparently this is the latest authority he knows. There is no citation in his lengthy work, which is confined strictly to alchemy, of any treatise on this subject by Albertus Magnus, Roger Bacon, Thomas Aquinas, Arnaldus of Villanova nor Raymond Lullus. It is impossible that he should have cited Lullus in 1330, because, as we have seen, this pseudo-Lullus literature is certainly none of it earlier, and probably all of it considerably later. 

In order to provide comprehensive and up-to-date information, several specialists of vibrational spectroscopy have contributed chapters dealing with their particular fields. The editor did not make considerable effort to force the authors to use exactly the same nomenclature. The nomenclature used by different authors reflects the common usage in the pertinent literature of the individual fields. There are typical but established differences in the nomenclature used by chemists and physicists - chemists prefer to think in terms of molecules and their properties, whereas physicists like to concentrate on phenomena and formalisms. However, the lUPAC and lUPAP rules as well as the SI units are obeyed wherever suitable and possible. The literature citations of all chapters are collected in a common section at the end of this book, arranged according to the name-date system (Ebel and Bliefert, 1990). 

For each citation, the author name(s) and the date of publication are given at the relevant point in the text. The bibliography is organized alphabetically... 

Whichever citation method is used in the text, comprehensive details are required for the bibliography so that the reader has enough information to find the reference easily. Citations should be listed in alphabetical order with the priority first author, subsequent author(s), date. Unfortunately, in terms of punctuation and layout, there are almost as many ways of citing papers as there are journals ... 

A number of periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers) and periodically revised reference books are published in print and on CD-ROM as databases. These citations may contain the following author s name (if given), title of the work, publication information for the printed source, title of the database (underlined), publication medium (CD-ROM), name of the vendor (the supplier of the information), and electronic publication date. 

Online Sources. In addition to the information provided in the previous examples (author, title, publication source, page numbers), these citations require the medium (online), the computer network (e.g., Internet), date, and electronic address (the URL). 

As the chapters do not constitute comprehensive reviews of the various topics, we have limited the number of references cited at the end of each chapter and have emphasized recent review articles. Additional up-to-date reviews are available on all the topics included in this book. In addition, some of the primary literature is cited within the body of the text by providing the name of one of the authors and the year in which the article was published. Using this system, readers should be able to find the original citations by searching an on-line database. 

The last citation is present on most GenBank records and gives scientific credit to the people responsible for the work smroimding the submitted sequence. It usually includes the postal address of the first author or the lab where the work was done. The date represents the date the record was submitted to the database but not the date on which the data were first made public, which is the date on the locus line if the record was not updated. Additional submitter blocks may be added to the record each time the sequences are updated.
