CSE Style Quick Tips

CSE supports name-year and citation-sequence systems. Confirm which your biology or life sciences course requires, then use this generator as a draft to verify against your handout.

  • Confirm whether your course uses name-year or citation-sequence CSE
  • List authors as Last FM; use et al. after the author limit your system requires
  • Italicize scientific names in titles when your style guide requires it
  • Abbreviate journal titles per CSE / NLM conventions when required
  • Place the year after authors in name-year systems
  • Always double-check volume, issue, and page ranges against the source

Sample CSE name-year pattern

Author AB, Author CD. Year. Article title. Abbreviated Journal. Volume(Issue):Pages.
