CSE Newspaper Article Citation
During the 60s, a citation format known as the Council of Biology Editors (CBE) appeared. It was created to determine a set of citation rules and writing guidelines for many biology journals. Later on, the CBE style was renamed to the Council of Science Editors (CSE) simply because it wasn’t used only by biologists anymore.
Today, the CSE style is one of the standard writing and citation guides used across different disciplines in the physical and life sciences, including biology, zoology, genetics, ecology, earth science, and medicine. Whether you’re writing a scientific journal, article, or research paper, the CSE documentation style is the right way to go

There are three ways to order reference lists in CSE:
- Citation-Sequence: Bibliographic entries are listed how they appear in the text and sorted numerically.
- Citation-Name: Bibliographic entries are alphabetized by author’s last name or organization’s name and sorted numerically.
- Name-Year: Bibliographic entries are alphabetized by author’s last name or organization’s name but not sorted numerically. The year of publication is placed after the author’s name.
