Chemistry: ACS Style/CASSI

ACS Style (American Chemical Society)

Developed by the American Chemical Society, the ACS style may be used for research papers in the field of chemistry.

• The ACS Style Guide: Effective Communication of Scientific Information. QD8.5 .A25 2006, Main, Reference, Reserve (Circulation Desk)
• ACS Style Cite Source (citation and in-text examples)
• ACS Style Guide, Ch. 14: References (pdf)

CSE Documentation (Council of Science Editors)

Many scientists use one of three systems of documentation specified by the Council of Science Editors in Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers (7th ed., 2006). T11 .S386 2006, Main and Reserve (Circulation Desk).

For examples of in-text citations and reference citation format, see Research & Documentation Online:

CAS Source Index (CASSI) Search Tool

Multiple-word journal titles are highly abbreviated in citations in accordance with the ACS Style Guide. The CAS Source Index (CASSI) Search Tool is a useful tool to use for both citing and interpreting citations.
