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.1
  • 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.
