How do I format a reference page in ACS Style?

Answer

ACS Style recommends the following:

  • Title it References in bold and it should be aligned left, not centered
  • Place citations in the order that they appeared in text, first source will become 1 in the list
  • Format the numbers with a period after them followed by one space
  • No part of the citation should be indented
    • Microsoft Word and Google Docs will try to indent the citation as part of a numbered list, use the undo function to stop this from happening


If you need further help, contact a librarian.
