CSE is the style used by the Council of Science Editors, and versions and adaptations of it are used by many science journals. There is a lot to this style manual, and you will need to confirm with your professor which format you need -- either method of citation or 1) Citation-Sequence 2) Name-Year or 3) Citation-Name.
Citation Style: We will be using the Council of Science Editors citation style. Note that this is DIFFERENT from MLA and APA.
Additionally, in environmental science writing, using direct quotes is not typical. Instead, authors will paraphrase and then cite the ideas of others.
How to Paraphrase: For example, the first sentence of a scholarly paper I (Professor Hoffman-Hall) wrote reads, “Accurate and timely population distribution maps are critical to addressing health epidemics, coordinating natural disaster response, tracking global changes for environmental conservation, confronting human rights issues, and more.”
It would NOT be appropriate in your papers to write, Hoffman-Hall et al. (2019) writes that, “accurate and timely population distribution maps…”. Instead, you would paraphrase similarly to the below examples:
● Population distribution maps with high levels of accuracy and precision are important tools for addressing health epidemics, responding to natural disasters, and more (Hoffman-Hall et al. 2019).
● Hoffman-Hall et al. (2019) describes the importance of accurate population distribution maps to many social and environmental issues.
● It is well known that accurate maps of population are important (Hoffman-Hall et al. 2019).
