CBSE has requested that we standardise on the PubMed citation format throughout the genome browser.
This page is no longer maintained.
 
Here is a link to the PubMed Journal Article [http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/policy/cit_format.html Citation Format].  If you can't find an existing example on this page of how to create a citation, just look up the article in PubMed, then cut/paste the entire citation.
 
PubMed, in turn, uses the ANSI/NISO Z39.29-2005 Bibliographic References standard [http://www.niso.org/standards/resources/Z39-29-2005.pdf pdf] as the basis for their format standards.
 
 
Here is a sample of the approved style:
 
Bejerano G, Lowe CB, Ahituv N, King B, Siepel A, Salama SR, Rubin EM, Kent WJ, Haussler D. [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v441/n7089/abs/nature04696.html A distal enhancer and an ultraconserved exon are derived from a novel retroposon]. ''Nature''. 2006 May 4;441(7089):87-90.
 
Chapter in a book:
 
Meltzer PS, Kallioniemi A, Trent JM. Chromosome alterations in human solid tumors. In: Vogelstein B, Kinzler KW, editors. The genetic basis of human cancer. New York: McGraw-Hill; 2002. p. 93-113.
 
 
The [http://genome.ucsc.edu/goldenPath/pubs.html Publications page] in the genome browser has been updated to reflect this style.  '''Please follow this style for all future citations used in the browser.'''
 
'''Details:'''
* If there are more than ten authors, list only the first 10 then use ''et al''.
** Nusbaum C, Zody MC, Borowsky ML, Kamal M, Kodira CD, Taylor TD, Whittaker CA, Chang JL, Cuomo CA, Dewar K ''et al''. [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v437/n7058/abs/nature03983.html DNA sequence and analysis of human chromosome 18]. ''Nature''. 2005 Sep 22;437(7058):551-5.
* If the journal name is abbreviated, do not include periods within the abbreviated name (but do include a period after the journal name, as always).
** Drake JA, Bird C, Nemesh J, Thomas DJ, Newton-Cheh C, Reymond A, Excoffier L, Attar H, Antonarakis SE, Dermitzakis ET ''et al''. [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=pubmed&cmd=Retrieve&dopt=AbstractPlus&list_uids=16380714&itool=iconabstr&query_hl=20&itool=pubmed_docsum Conserved noncoding sequences are selectively constrained and not mutation cold spots]. ''Nat Genet.'' 2006 Feb;38(2):223-7.
* If you have a choice, point to an abstract version of the paper rather than the entire full paper.  (Not all users have access to full-text versions without paying a fee.)
* List citations in alphabetical order.
 
'''To cite a paper within text:'''
 
Citations should be like this: (Lastname, et al. YEAR). An example is: (Kent, et al. 2010). Obviously, if there is only one author, do not include the "et al."
