====== Formatting Your References ======

===== Things to keep in mind: =====

  * References need to be formatted according to journal standards. The submission guidelines will tell you what style they want. Common styles include Harvard, JAMA, and Vancouver.

  * Most references in medical journals are sorted chronologically. The number should generally appear after the punctuation like this: One study found that daprodustat was an effective way to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease.<sup>1</sup>

  * Author-date citation systems are also sometimes used. The author and date will always come before the punctuation. Here is an example: "One study found that daprodustat was an effective way to treat anemia in chronic kidney disease (Johnson et al., 2012)."

  * EndNote output styles can be downloaded but should be checked because they are not always accurate.

  * If you are good at using EndNote, you can modify output styles by going to Edit > Output Styles and then selecting the style you want to edit.
