Resources For Reference Style and Citations
The ACS Style Guide: Effective Communication of Scientific Information
The ACS style guide is the go to resource for chemistry writing conventions and citation formatting. Be sure to also check the "Guide For Authors" information if submitting a manuscript to a particular publisher. The style may vary slightly from that of the pure ACS style.
