General Guidelines

Note
  • List names of all authors, up to six names.  If there are more than six names, use the primary author's name followed by et al.
  • Ensure you are using standard abbreviations for journals & periodicals.  See the Web of Science: Journal Title Abbreviations.
  • For any references that cite two months for the same issue, the two months should be separated by a slash (e.g. Jul./Aug.), followed by the year of publication.
  • Both issue number and month/s are included.
  • DOIs are included when provided.  Use DOIs in preference to URLs.
