WRITING CHEMICAL RESEARCH PAPERS REFERENCES
Preliminary • References should have been decided at the outline and first draft stages • Obtain digital or paper copy of each • Accommodate any new references (e.g. newly published work or any overlooked references) • Make sure you present the references according to the target journal style. Software such as ‘Endnote’ can help here
Reference Systems There are two basic reference systems: • The Number System • The Harvard System 1. Number system. This uses numbers in the text (e.g. …report11, …report (11), …report [11], etc) with the references in the list arranged in numerical order
Reference Systems..Continued 2. The Harvard System. This uses surnames and dates in the text (e.g. …report (Bates, 2009), with references in the list arranged in alphabetical order. Titles of articles are usually included in this system
Journal Styles Individual journal styles for references vary widely. The following details should be taken into account: • Order of surnames and initials • Use of punctuation • Position of year of publication and use of brackets • Style to indicate journal name, volume number and year of publication • Style for referencing papers in edited volumes and books
Journal Styles…Continued • Surnames and Initials Kim, S H and Lee, B S… or Kim, S H and B S Lee… or S H Kim and B S Lee… Surnames should be quoted in the same order as in the cited paper
Journal Styles…Continued • Use of punctuation. Note whether full stop (.), comma (,), semicolon (;), colon (:) or simply a space is used at a particular point Kim, S H or Kim, SH or Kim, S. H. or Kim S H (etc) Phys Chem, 56, 435… or Phys. Chem., 56, 435… or Phys. Chem., 56: 435… etc
Journal Styles…Continued • Position of year of publication and use of brackets Bates, G. B. (2009)…(usually with Harvard System) ...J. Chem. Soc. B, 1971, 123. or …J. Chem. Soc. B, 123 (1971). etc These styles usually accompany the ‘number system’
Journal Styles…Continued • Style for journal details Here, note the use of bold, italics or underline. Also is page range required? …Org. Biomol. Chem., 1, 153-156 (2003). or …Org. Biomol. Org., 1, 153 (2003) or … Org. Biomol. Org., 2003, 1, 153-156 etc Journal title abbreviations are standard (see handout)
Journal Styles…Continued • Style for referencing articles in edited volumes and books Smith L (1999), ‘The development of probiotic foods’, in Gibson G and Williams C, Functional foods, Cambridge, Woodhead, 5275. or Smith L. (1999) The development of probiotic foods, in Gibson G. and Williams C., Functional Foods. Woodhead, Cambridge, U.K.,5275. etc
Final Checks When finished, check the following: • The references are all in the correct style • They are listed in the correct order • They are accurate with regard to author names and sequence of names • They are accurate with regard to journal name, volume, page(s) and date (and title, if required) • They are all cited in the text
