CBE

The Council of Biology Editors' citation style is used in the natural sciences and endorses two formats. One is a citation-sequence system, which includes arranging the reference list according to the order in which the sources were numerically cited in the text. The other is a style that lists author and date in a parenthetical citation in the text along with a reference list at the end of the work. For a detailed explanation of the CBE style of documentation, see the University of Illinois Writing Center's Writing Handouts page on CBE documentation.
