References Guidelines

All authors must be cited in the order in which they first appeared in publication and as they subsequently appear in PubMed, even in cases for which more than one author contributed equally to the work. Include all authors' names (i.e., do not use "et al."), year, complete article title, and inclusive page numbers. Abbreviate the names of journals according to PubMed; please spell out the names of unlisted journals.

In-text citations

In-text citations should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Enclose numbers in parentheses and place before any punctuation. Separate grouped citations with a comma and space and do not use dashes; e.g., (6, 18, 19, 20).
