ACS Style Quick Tips
ACS formatting emphasizes consistent author lists, journal abbreviations, and DOIs. Use this generator as a starting point, then match your lab or journal handout.
Italicize journal title abbreviations (e.g., J. Am. Chem. Soc.)- List authors with semicolons in ACS reference format
- Include DOI when available for journal articles
- Use consistent numbering for in-text citations
- Follow your course or journal’s ACS variant (with/without titles)
- Always double-check page ranges and volume numbers
Sample ACS pattern
