Chemistry: Subject Guide: Citation Help

American Chemical Society Citation Style

Developed by the American Chemical Society, this style may be used for research papers in the field of chemistry. Each citation consists of two parts: the in-text citation, which provides brief identifying information within the text, and the reference list, a list of sources that provides full bibliographic information.
