Citations In-text citations (typically fewer than four) are often included in posters, most commonly in the Introduction. Either a numerical or... 

In the following discussion, it will be understood that in algebraic expressions and equations all physical quantities are designated in a consistent set of units (e.g., pressure in dyne/cm2 and energy in ergs) in this case quantities of elements will be dimensionless (number of atoms). Numerical citations in text and tables, however, will be in more familiar laboratory units (e.g., pressure in atm or torr or Pa, energy in cal, and gas quantities in cm3 STP). 

Fig. 9.1 The theoretical probability of molecular recognition based on a simple interaction model indicates that the likelihood of a unique binding mode decreases with increasing ligand complexity (A). The probability to experimentally detect a binding event is estimated to increase with complexity (B). The product probability for a so-called useful event, namely, the detection of a ligand with a unique binding mode, reaches a maximum at a medium ligand complexity (C). (See citation in text for details and discussion).

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 ...

Proofread your in-text citations carefully, paying special attention to periods, commas, semicolons, en dashes, italics, parentheses, and the use of et al. Double-check your work. 

The last required section of most written work is the References. This section goes by various names. In journal article and posters, it is often called References or Literature Cited. In proposals, it is often called References Cited. Whatever the name, its purpose is to offer more detailed information about the publications cited within the text, making it easy for readers to retrieve each cited source, if so desired. As the name implies, only the literature cited in the text should be included in the references. The format that you use for your references should parallel the format that you use with in-text citations ... 

References should parallel the formatting of In-text citations. 

With In-text numerical citations, list references In numerical order. 

Like in-text citations, the formatting of references requires great care. The appropriate use of punctuation, fonts, parentheses, in addition to the inclusion, exclusion, and sequencing of information (e.g., authors, title of article, title of journal, year of publication, page numbers), reveals your attention to detail, expected of good writers and by expert and scientific readers. 

Beginning writers sometimes incorrectly combine numerical and alphabetical reference formats. Consider the example below. The in-text citations are not numbered sequentially (i.e., 1, 2,3,...), and the literature cited is in alphabetical order rather than in citation order. 

There must be an exact match between in-text citations and references. All cited works (but only cited works) must be included. 

Use a reference format that complements the in-text citation format that you ve used. 

In the reference list the code is followed by (a) the complete literature citation in the conventional manner and (b) the number(s) of the page(s) on which the reference appears, whether in the text or in tables, schemes, etc. 

The degradation of purine nucleotides to uric acid, illustrating some of the genetic diseases associated with this pathway. [Note The numbers in brackets refer to the corresponding numbered citations in the text.]... 

Major metabolic pathways in liver during starvation. The numbers in circles, which appear both on the figure and in the corresponding citation in the text, indicate important metabolic pathways for carbohydrate or fat. 

The names of authors and joint authors of chapters in the present book, and the page numbers at which these chapters begin, are printed in heavy type. Page numbers of bibliographical references as listed at the ends of the chapters are in italics and page numbers of citations in the text are in ordinary type. 

Note Some reference citations in this chapter refer to Handbooks containing several individual references. These are indicated in the text as (ASTM G 52004)4, for example, and the addition of R04 in the reference list stands for revised 2004. 

The citation of references in text is a subject that varies widely from journal to journal and publisher to publisher. There are three ways to cite references in text in ACS publications superscript numbers, italic numbers in parentheses, or author name and year of publication. Authors are encouraged to check the... 

With numerical reference citations, start with 1 and number consecutively throughout the paper, including references in text and those in tables, figures, and other nontext components. If a reference is repeated, do not give it a new number use the original reference number.
