AALAS Format

AALAS Format for Animal Biotechnology & Conservation Majors

Note: In January 2006, the AALAS adopted the CBE (Council of Biological Editors) citation style. Examples given below reflect this change.

References

• Cite references in the text using Arabic numerals in parentheses and in alphabetical order under References at the end of the text.
