References author names

All the references for all the chapters in a given volume are collected together in a merged list at the end of that volume (where they are most easily located). There are no separate chapter bibliographies. In the final list, references are given both in code and in full conventional form, with authors names. They appear in an ordered sequence, numerically by year, then alphabetically by journal code, and then by page number. Cross references to the text citation are also given in the reference list. 

Numbers in parentheses are footnote numbers and are inserted to enable the reader to locate a reference when the authors names do not appear in the text. 

In the text of this book author name(s) and year are provided, but for references with three or more authors only the first author and et air is given. No initials are included in the citations within the text. For the (few) Ph. D. theses cited, the name of the supervisor is given at the end of the reference. 

The entries of this index were derived directly by computer program from the lists of references. The accuracy of the references was the sole responsibility of the authors. No editorial check, except for format and journal-title abbreviation, was applied. Consequently, errors occurring in authors names in the references will recur in this index. 

The literature is covered through March 2009, supplementing the coverage used in the earlier hard cover chapter. These latest literature references have been collected in separate sections according to the sequence of the tables in the tabular survey section. In each of the sections, the individual citations have been arranged in alphabetic order of the author names. 

A work such as this, covering a wide spectmm of technologies, and having a historical dimension, can never be complete, even within its own terms of reference. More names, old and new, demand the attention of the author almost daily. More information on the processes is always to be found. In such a task, there comes a time when an author must consider whether the body of information already collected, incomplete though it may be, is sufficient for others to find useful. I hope that I have judged that time correctly. 

Numbers in parentheses are reference numbers and are included to assist in locating references in which authors names are not mentioned in the text. Numbers in italics refer to pages on which the references are listed. 

The first suggestion to make your writing more concise is to eliminate the names of scientists and the titles of their works from your sentences. (If relevant, this information is included in the references, so it is redundant to repeat it in the text.) The authors of the six key articles in this textbook followed this advice more than 125 articles were cited in their Introduction sections, but authors names appeared only once What this means, then, is to make the science the subject of your sentences. Consider the following examples ... 

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). 

The abbreviation et al. (from the Latin et alia) means and others. It is used to refer to a work that has multiple authors. Instead of referring to a work by writing out all of the authors names, writers use et al. after the surname of the first... 

The lists of references at the ends of chapters are provided to encourage readers to look at original research articles. The lists are neither complete nor critically selected, but they do increase the information given in this book many-fold. I apologize for the important papers omitted. However, the references that are here will help a student to get started in reading the literature. Each reference contains other references and names of persons active in the field. By searching recent journal indices or a computer database it is easy to find additional articles by the same authors or on the same subject. 

This index comprises a list of author names taken from the references given in Volumes E 10a. E lOb/Part 1 and E lOb/Part 2. Examples illustrating how to use this index are given below. Please note that these examples are fictional. 

SciFinder Scholar lets students and faculty search the CAPlus and Registry databases by authors names, concepts, chemical names, molecular formulas, CAS Registry Numbers, chemical structures, and specific references such as a patent number. SciFinder allows these options, plus other ones for handling the queries and hits. The latest version of SciFinder also can search Medline. 

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... 

Periodical references must include the author names, abbreviated journal title, year of publication, volume number (if any), and initial page of cited article (the complete span is better). 

Include all author names in a reference citation. With multiple authors, separate the names from one another by semicolons. Always end the author field with a period (exception Biochemistry). List the names in inverted form surname first, then first initial, middle initial, and qualifiers (Jr., II). Some publications list the first 10 authors followed by a semicolon and et al. check the guidelines.
