ACS - newspaper

ACS (American Chemical Society) is a numbered endnote style used in the sciences, particularly Chemistry. Numbers placed within your writing direct the reader to the corresponding references at the end of your essay (endnotes).

Endnotes

References (endnotes) are placed in numerical order at the end of your essay. They include the authors' names, details of the works cited, and relevant page numbers.

Be specific with the date of publication. Page numbers may be omitted due to inconsistencies that may arise between daily editions. Add additional edition information if given (e.g. Late ed.)

One author

Two to ten authors

Eleven or more authors

Unknown author


See also: Translated work, Multiple works by the same author, One source cited in another, Similar information from multiple works, Abbreviations

In-text citation

Put an endnote number in your text to show when you are using another person's ideas or words. This number directs the reader to the reference list, containing information about the work you are citing.

  • ... has been recently identified.1

If you are making a direct quotation, use quotation marks.

  • Dalas and Koutsoukos observed that "the presence of the magnetic field did not result in preferential growth of a certain crystal face."2

If the same source is referred to more than once within your text, repeat the number. If you are expressing ideas that have originated from more than one source, separate the numbers with commas, or use a hyphen if referring to several endnotes. A number following the full stop/period applies to the whole sentence.

  • ... in alkyl sulphates such as sodium lauryl sulphate3,5-7 and diethyl sulphate6. Chew and Maibach3 also noted that the compounds showing promise were those in the C12 - C14 range.
