Scientific Style and Format: The CSE Manual

The CSE Manual does not specifically reference Standards.

Organizations as authors has different formats for each style as demonstrated below
Section 29.3.6.1.2 Organizations as Authors for more information.

Citation–sequence and citation–name:

Organization as author - spell out entire organization and do not use acronym.

Using the general format a Citation–sequence and Citation–name citation can be constructed as:
Publisher. Standard Title. Standard Code. Publisher Location City (Location State): Publisher; Year.

Example:
American National Standard Institute/Robotic Industries Association. Industrial Robots and Robot Systems – Safety Requirements. ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999. Ann Arbor (MI): Robotic Industries Association; 1999.

Name–year:

Organization as author - use the initial letter of each part of the name or a readily recognizable abbreviation to create a shortened form for the in-text reference inside a bracket. Example: [ANSI/RIA] American National Standard Institute/Robotic Industries Association

Using the general format a Name-year citation can be constructed as:
Publisher. Year. Standard Title. Standard Code. Publisher Location City (Location State): Publisher.

Example:
[ANSI/RIA] American National Standard Institute/Robotic Industries Association. 1999. Industrial Robots and Robot Systems – Safety Requirements. ANSI/RIA R15.06-1999. Ann Arbor (MI): Robotic Industries Association.

Citing the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) is consistent across all styles.

The following describes how information is contained in a CFR citation.

• Title: Is the numeric value to the left of "CFR".
• Part: Is the numeric value to the right of "CFR" and preceding the period (".").
• Section/Subpart: Is the numeric value to the right of the period (".").
  • A subpart is a letter of the alphabet (A-Z) that is used to retrieve an entire subpart of the CFR rather than many individual sections. For example: Subpart E.
• Revision Year: The four digit year from the "Revised as of" text represents the year being cited. The revision year is not always available when the CFR is cited.

General Format:
Title CFR Part.Section/Subpart Revised as of Date (Format Month Day, Year)

Example:
21 CFR 310.502 Revised as of April 1, 1997

• Title: 21
• Part: 310
• Section: 502
• Year: 1997
