CHEM.1350: Honors Chemistry

If you use author-date in-text citations, order your references list alphabetically by the last name of the first author. For multiple references with the same author or first author, list the single-author references first, then the two-author citations, and the group citations last.

Order of Works with Same First Author

• Single-author: arrange chronologically (earliest one first)

  Hamilton, F. J. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2004, 52, 1622-1633.

• Same author(s) and same date: arrange chronologically (as accurately as possible) and add lowercase letters a, b, c, immediately after the date in the parentheses.

  Hamilton, F. J. J. Agric. Food Chem. 2004a, 52, 1622-1633.
  Hamilton, F. J. J. Org. Chem. 2004b, 69, 298-306.

• Same first author, but different co-authors: come after the single-author entries for the first author and then chronologically.

  Scarponi, T. M.; Moreno, S. P. Biochemistry 2002, 41, 345-360.
  Scarponi, T. M.; Adams, J. S. J. Pharm. Sci. 2003, 92, 703-712.
