1. Introduction
Managing references is an important part of your academic study. We want you all to follow the same formatting
style, as described below, which is based on that used by the Royal Society of Chemistry (with the main difference
that we require you to give the titles of individual articles, and that the journal names should be given in full).
2. Types of reference
There are 4 main types of references which you may choose to use (these and a few other less common types are
included in part 5 of this document). In most cases, your references should all be published material – that is, they
should not include material such as lecture notes, which are only available to a small number of people.
1) Websites. You may use a website such as Wikipedia to get some initial information. Generally websites are NOT
good sources of scientific information because they are not peer-reviewed: anyone can put anything they like up on
the internet and it isn’t necessarily true! If you do use a website it should be formatted in your list of references as
Bedfordshire Bat Group, Introducing Bedfordshire’s bats [online], 2002 [Accessed 25/08/2008]. Available from:
http://www.bedsbatgroup.org.uk/batsinbeds/batsinbeds.html
2) Books. In most cases it is better to refer to part of a book (e.g. a chapter) rather than the book as a whole (the
only exception would be if you wanted to demonstrate how important a field was, simply by noting that there are
books published on the topic). The way to format the reference will be slightly different depending on whether the
whole book is written by the same people or whether different people have written different chapters, with one
overall editor. The reference should include the company which published the book and the city where it was
published, the edition and year of publication, e.g.

or
E. Cholocation, ‘How bats ‘see’’, in Bat biology, ed. N. Batty, Oxford University Press, Oxford UK, 2nd edn., 1987, 272-
298.
3) Reviews in peer-reviewed scientific journals. The difference between a review and an original article (4, below), is
subtle but important. An original article is written to reveal experiments and new data by the people who actually
did the experiments, it will almost always contain an ‘Experimental’ or ‘Materials and Methods’ section. A review
usually summarises a number of original articles, it may be written by the same people who wrote the original
articles, or by someone else (who is usually an expert in the same field). Reviews do not usually contain
‘Experimental’ or ‘Materials and Methods’ sections. Reviews are effectively second-hand knowledge. Some scientific
journals are comprised entirely of reviews, e.g. Chemical Reviews, while others contain a mixture of reviews and
original articles. A reference to a review should be formatted as follows where the title of the review article itself is
in quotation marks, the title of the journal is italicised, and the numbers following the title are the year, journal
volume number (in bold type) and page range. Don’t include the issue number, which sometimes appears after the
volume number, in brackets. You should list ALL the authors, and should give the full title of the journal e.g. Journal
of the American Chemical Society, NOT J. Amer. Chem. Soc..
F. Mammals, A. Bat, B. Bat and C. Bat, ‘The echolocation mechanism of bats’, Journal of Flying Mammals, 2007, 32,
456-463.
Note that you should use the initials and surnames of authors, not the christian names (as these may be included on
some articles/reviews/letters and not others).
Note that even if you download a review over the internet (usually in the form of a .pdf file). As long as the journal is
published in print as well, the article is NOT a website so the reference is formatted differently, you don’t need to
give the url or the date of access.
4) Original articles in peer-reviewed scientific articles. The difference between original articles and reviews is
explained in 3 above. We expect that most of your references will be original articles, and you will spend most of
your essay discussing original articles. Note that letters (e.g. in the journal Chemistry Letters) or communications
(e.g. in the journal Chemical Communications) are short (2-4 pages) original articles (although confusingly, both of
these journals publish a few reviews as well, though these stand out by being generally much longer). Remember, an
original article is written to reveal experiments and new data by the people who actually did the experiments, it will
almost always contain an ‘Experimental’ or ‘Materials and Methods’ section. References to original articles should be
formatted similarly to those to reviews:
V. Ampire, ‘An experiment to measure bats territories in Bedfordshire’, British Bat Letters, 2000, 12, 354-356.
Again note that even if you download an original article over the internet (usually in the form of a .pdf file). As long
as the journal is published in print as well, the article is NOT a website so the reference is formatted differently,
you don’t need to give the url or the date of access.
3. Use of Tables and figures
Tables and figures should have titles (e.g. Table 3) and legends i.e. brief descriptions as demonstrated below.
R.J. Ansell 31/01/2013

Figure 1. Daubenton bat. Photograph copied from reference 1.
Note that the title of the figure (or table) is italicised, and the title and legend are in a reduced font size.
It is very easy today to cut and paste tables and images from websites or even .pdf documents. If you do this you
must include in the legend ‘figure/table copied from reference X’ where X is the article or website from which you
have taken it. People cannot copy images in this way if they are publishing a review because it is breach of copyright,
so neither should you.
If the figure or table is very simple you should instead reproduce it yourself and include in the legend ‘figure/table
adapted from reference X’ where X is the article or website from which you have taken it. For example, chemical
structures and mechanisms should NOT be cut and paste but redrawn using ChemDraw or ISISDraw. Tables can be
recreated using Word. Simple sketches can be drawn in Powerpoint, saved as .jpg and imported.
4. Citations and managing references.
Managing references is an important part of the project. Here is an example (we expect you to follow this format).
Text:
In 2005, 300 bat sightings were recorded in Bedfordshire1. This compares with 20,000 sightings in the whole of the
UK2. There are plenty of bats around.
Twelve bat species are common in the UK1. Mammals et al. have suggested that one of these, the pipistrelle, is
threatened with extinction in nearby Hertfordshire3. Ampire writes that ‘the flying range of the Pipistrelle is less than
anyone had thought, with territories often limited to a radius of just 1 km’4.

Things to notice:
a) References are cited (i.e., the number is inserted to show which reference) as close as possible to the important
information that is being taken from them. I don’t wait until the end of paragraph one to insert the first two
references, or until the end of paragraph two to insert the others.
b) Citations appear as superscripted numbers – NOT in brackets, NOT roman numerals, NOT As ‘Smith 1994’ etc….
b) The numbering of the references corresponds to the order in which they appear in the text – I don’t cite
reference 3 before reference 2, or 4 before 1…..
c) One reference (number 1) is used twice, but it isn’t given a new number, it only needs to appear once in the
references and you can refer to it multiple times in the text.
d) When a direct quotation of the text in reference 4 appears, it is enclosed by quotation marks and followed by the
reference.
e) The abbreviation et al. (which means ‘and the others’) is always italicised (to indicate it is not English, but Latin)
and followed by a full stop (to indicate that it is an abbreviation).
You should avoid under-use of citations (e.g. 2 pages of your report are based on a reference, but you only cite it
once. In this instance, you should probably include the citation once per paragraph) AND over-use of citations (in the
same example, you should not include the citation in every sentence!).

Journal article Use the title page of the journal volume or issue and the article. Do not abbreviate the name
of the Journal. The page numbers of the entire article should be included in your
bibliography. The volume number is required but the issue number should not be included:
Initials. Family Name, ‘Title of article’, Journal Name, Year, volume, page range.

Journal article
(electronic – no
printed version/no
page numbers)
There are two instances where there may be no page numbers for an online journal article
and hence the format described above may not be suitable. Firstly, an article may be
published early on a website before the paper version is printed:
Initials. Family Name, ‘Title of article’, Journal Name [online], status (e.g. accepted
manuscript / advance article), Year, [Accessed dd/mm/yyyy]. Available from: URL

hairpin probe-based isothermal amplification’, Analyst [online], Advance Article, 2012
[Accessed 31/07/2012]. Available from: http://0-pubs.rsc.org.wam.leeds.ac.uk/
Secondly an article may appear in a journal which does not have a printed version. In this
case formatting is as for a normal journal article, but an alternative identifier, such as the
article number, is used in place of the page numbers:

Translated material You should reference exactly what you read, so if you read a translation, you should
reference the translated version. There is no need to mention that it is a translation, or name
the translator - it will be obvious from your reference which language you read it in.

6. Common Issues
Author names
Remember that the names of ALL authors /editors should be included, do not use ‘et al.’ in your list of references.
Use ‘and’ between the last two authors/editors.
Dates
In most cases only the year (format ‘yyyy’) is required. For materials which are published only in online format
(blogs, e-books, electronic discussion lists, online videos, podcasts, websites or Wikis), you need to include the date
accessed (format ‘dd/mm/yyyy). This is because these types of material are liable to be changed at any time.
However, if you download material over the internet which also appears in printed form (e.g. an article from a
journal that is published both online and in print) then you do not need to include the date accessed. For
government department circulars, newspaper articles, lectures or lecture materials, or personal communications,
the full date is required (dd/mm/yyy), and for Television or Radio Broadcasts both the full date and time of
broadcast are required (dd/mm/yyy, hh:mm).
Use of URLs
R.J. Ansell 31/01/2013
11
Remember that even if you download a published article over the internet, if it has been published in print then you
do not need to include the URL. You should only include URLs for e-books, publications in e-journals, e-prints,
electronic discussion lists, online videos, podcasts, websites and wikis.
Some webpages have very long URLs. The Library recommends that you only put the URL as far as the first forward
slash /.
For example:
Available from: http://0-web.ebscohost.com.wam.leeds.ac.uk/
Rather than:
Available from: http://0-web.ebscohost.com.wam.leeds.ac.uk/bsi/detail?vid=4&hid=7&sid=27735707-0bdb-468e-
a7a6-47ea3c7c036c%40sessionmgr7&bdata=JnNpdGU9YnNpLWxpdmU%3d#db=buh&AN=3891036
7. Use of reference management software
The University of Leeds supports the use of the EndNote reference management software. A style template
(LeedsUniRSC.ens) for the School of Chemistry referencing style for use in EndNote is available from
http://www1.chem.leeds.ac.uk/CurrentStudents/
In order to use this template with EndNote, you first need to download the style and save it to your computer. The
process for this is different depending on the permissions you have:
Using your own copy of EndNote (on a laptop, or other computer to which you have administrator rights)
Download the style and save it to the folder that contains all of EndNote's other output styles. This is likely to be on
your C drive, under Program Files> EndNote X5> Styles.
It should now be an option when you reformat your bibliography.
Using EndNote via Desktop Anywhere, or on a computer to which you do not have administrator rights
1. Create a new folder on your computer where you do have permissions to save. Call the new folder Styles 2. Download the style and save it to your new Styles folder 3. Open EndNote and on the menu bar choose Edit, then Preferences 4. In the new window, click on Folder locations 5. A box called Style folder will appear. Make a note of where the existing styles are held in case you ever want
to revert to this location 6. Next to the Style folder box, click on the Select folder button. Navigate to and select the Styles folder you
created earlier. Click OK 7. When you ask EndNote to format the bibliography in your Word document, this style should now appear as
an option.
The template for LeedsUniRSC contains extensive notes under ‘About this style’ which should help you to enter your
references into EndNote in the correct way, so that they will be appropriately formatted when you import them into
a Word document. DO NOT ASSUME THAT BECAUSE YOU USE THIS TEMPLATE YOUR REFERENCES WILL INEVITABLY
BE CORRECTLY FORMATTED. EndNote is only as good as the data that is fed into it. If the references stored in
EndNote have fields missing, or if there are descriptors that are entered into different fields than the ones
recognised by this style, then the output from EndNote will contain errors. You should make sure that your
R.J. Ansell 31/01/2013
12
references are entered into EndNote as described in the template, and CHECK how they are displayed in your final
document. For Journal Articles the formatting will almost always be correct but for other reference types you will
need to check more carefully e.g. for web pages and other reference types where dates are required, these must be
entered into EndNote in the format dd/mm/yyyy otherwise EndNote will not output them in this format.
