- If the citation extends to a second line, do NOT indent (as in APA).
- Author names are written as Lastname FirstinitialMiddleinitial with no punctuation in between (e.g. Slade SC). Use commas between names if there are multiple authors.
- Journal titles are abbreviated and in italics. Use the NLM abbreviations for journal titles (link below)
- For title of journal article: capitalize only the first word and any proper nouns
- For journal page numbers and dates: year followed by a semicolon; the volume number and the issue number (in parentheses) followed by a colon; the initial page number, a hyphen, the final page number followed by a period and are set without spaces.
- URLS / DOI: use the DOI whenever available (this is preferable to the URL), but include a URL is there is no DOI
