CBSE has requested that we standardise on the PubMed citation format throughout the genome browser.
Here is a link to the PubMed Journal Article 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 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. A distal enhancer and an ultraconserved exon are derived from a novel retroposon. Nature. 2006 May 4;441(7089):87-90.
The 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. 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. Conserved noncoding sequences are selectively constrained and not mutation cold spots. Nat Genet. 2006 Feb;38(2):223-7.
