<\/span>What is CSE Style Guide?<\/span><\/h2>\n
CSE stands for Council of Science Editors. Originated in the 1960s, CSE was known as the\u00a0Council of Biology Editors (CBE) style. It was intended to provide style and formatting guidelines for editors of peer-reviewed biology journals. Over the years, it grew to include many fields of scientific research in both the life sciences and physical sciences field. In the year 2000, the CBE organization became the Council of Science Editors (CSE) and the style became the CSE style.<\/p>\n
The CSE style indicates a specific style<\/a> for citing original information and drafting a publication-ready and plagiarism-free research manuscript. The CSE style<\/a> is used by researchers in the field of sciences, including: Biology, Ecology, Zoology, and Medicine.<\/p>\n
<\/span>General Formatting and Citation Guidelines of CSE Style Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n
While there is no standard format to follow in CSE, scientific writers must follow the journal\u2019s or institution\u2019s standards for formatting manuscripts. However, here are some general guidelines to follow while formatting your manuscript in CSE Style<\/a>:<\/p>\n
- Titles of books and articles must not be italicized, placed in quotation marks, or underlined while citing<\/a>. Except for the first letter of the title and proper nouns existing in the title, no other words must be capitalized.<\/li>\n
- Journal titles with more than one word are abbreviated and all the abbreviated titles<\/a> are capitalized.<\/li>\n
- While including URLs in citations, doo not end the citations with a period.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  <\/span>How to Cite Sources in CSE Style?<\/span><\/h2>\n
  CSE uses three documentation systems. The journals and institution guidelines must be referred to before following any of the documentation styles for your manuscript.<\/p>\n
  Citation-Sequence System<\/h3>\n
  Superscripted numbers are inserted at the point of reference in the text, and sequentially numbered<\/a> in the order of their appearance. While citing more than one reference within one sentence use a superscript sequence of numbers^{2,3<\/sup>.\u00a0The citations are then listed numerically at the end of the manuscript in the references page.<\/p>\n}
