There are no strict requirements on reference formatting at initial submission as long as the style is consistent.
Upon acceptance, the authors are required to format the references as follows:
References should follow text and begin on a separate page. They must be numbered consecutively in order of appearance in the text. References should be designated by superscript numbers following all punctuation (except semicolons and colons).
List only references that you have read and that are pertinent to the manuscript.
Cite only published studies as references. You may acknowledge “unpublished data” or “submitted” articles within parentheses in the text. Reference to a “personal communication” within parentheses in the text must be accompanied by a signed permission letter from the individual being cited.
Oral or poster presentations are similarly unpublished and may be cited only in parentheses in the text. Platform and poster presentations at annual meetings are customarily indicated: (Smith AB, presented at the AAO Annual Meeting, Atlanta, 1995).
Books or articles “in press” may be cited as numbered references. Such citations should be updated before publication, if possible.
Journal abbreviations should be those used by the National Library of Medicine, as found in Index Medicus. If in doubt as to the correct abbreviation, cite the complete journal name. Do not underline journal titles, and do not use periods in abbreviations of journal titles or in author initials.
Please follow precisely the format and punctuation shown in the following examples:
