Style Guide for Bibliographies and Footnotes
Based on Scientific Style and Format: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, Sixth Edition [T11 S386 1994]
This guide lists examples using the scientific style. If you need additional help, copies of the CBE Manual are available at the following libraries:
Fisheries-Oceanography, Friday Harbor, Natural Sciences, Bothell, and Tacoma. This guide shows examples from the name-year system. For
information about the citation-sequence system, consult the print CBE Manual.
In the CBE style system of references, journal titles are abbreviated. The CBE Manual lists many of the standard words in journal titles with their
abbreviations. Other sources to consult include the BIOSIS Serial Sources, the International Directory of Serial Publications in Aquatic Sciences and
Fisheries, and the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index (CASSI). Check the UW Libraries Catalog for detailed call number and location information.
