Hello,
You are most likely being asked to cite your work in the Counsel of Science Editors' format. That style manual can be found here at Stevenson Library. Here's some information that should help:
Scientific Style & Format: The CSE Manual for Authors, Editors and Publishers, 7th ed. Call Number T11 .S386 2006
There is a short guide, created by one of the Biology professors, that our students find helpful, it is linked to a biology library guide: Literature Cited Formats in Principles of Biology.
If you have trouble locating the manual when you come to the library, just ask a librarian at Reference desk (call 484-2468, by text, Reference Services at (570) 431-9918, or by email: ask@lhup.email.libanswers.com
Regards,
Brian Ardan
