Food Science: Referencing & Writing

Options for Managing References

Tips on choosing and using citation styles (also called referencing styles) plus using systems such as EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley.

APA Referencing Style

APA style refers to author names parenthetically in text, and the list of references at the end of the paper is organised alphabetically by author.

NB: the latest (7th) edition of this style is newly published, your department or supervisor may require you to use the 6th edition.

ACS Referencing Style

Some Food Science thesis and dissertation supervisors recommend this style from the American Chemical Society.

CSE Referencing Style

Are you submitting a manuscript to a journal that specifies the CSE (Council of Science Editors) Style?

If so, you may wish to consult: Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers.
