The CSE Citation style is commonly used by biologists, foresters, and other natural resource professionals. In this course, you will follow CSE Name-Year Documentation (8th edition). This guide provides sample citations for a variety of source types. There is a print copy available at the Reference Desk on the second floor of the library: http://aubiecat.auburn.edu/vwebv/holdingsInfo?bibId=4610337.
IMPORTANT NOTE: All entries should have hanging indents! Unfortunately, I'm not able to create them on this website...
