Reference styles for upcoming paper

Hey guys, several of you have asked about how to cite sources in your upcoming paper, general style, etc. We thought it would be good to use the same styles that practicing scientists use, so we'll use the format of the journal Science, one of the two most prestigious journals in all fields of science (the other is Nature). If you have a question about style, go to this page at the Science site. Use this link to see the format for references in particular. And, as in all areas of life, a picture is worth a thousand words, so make sure to log in to Science and simply read an article to see how it looks. Also, WFU provides us with a reference manager called EndNote that makes citations dead simple. If you want a tutorial on how to use it, I'll give one after class on Thursday. Good luck!
