ASME Citations Style

ASME Citations Style
1. Citing Within the Text
The citation is a short code (within the body of the document) that identifies an idea or fact that
the writer has borrowed from elsewhere. The list of references provides a complete and detailed
list (at the end of the document) of all the sources the writer used. Consider citations as
equations in words; be precise - it reflects your attention to detail. ASME style
characteristics:
 Within the text, references should be cited in numerical order according to their order of
appearance.
 The numbered reference citation should be enclosed in brackets [1] rather than as
superscripts1 or in bracketed () form.
o For example: It was shown by Platten [1] that there is no universal technique that
works for measuring the Soret coefficient in any binary mixture. You must name
all authors. Use n.d. if no dates are available.
2. Reference List
Anonymous work
[Citation number] If there are no authors, corporate author, editor, compiler, or translator, omit
the author spot. Begin the entry with Title of the Book, year, Publisher, Location.
Example
[1] Collaborative Writing in Industry: Investigations in Theory and Practice, 1991,
Baywood Publishing Co., Amityville, NY.
Book with one author or a chapter in a book

[Citation number] Author’s Name, year, Title of Book, Publisher, Location. [For chapters in a
book, add chapter number (if any) at the end of the citation following the abbreviation, “Chap.”]
Example
[1] Saxby, G., 1996, Practical Holography, 2nd ed., Prentice Hall, New York, NY, Chap. 6.
Book with two or more authors

[Citation number] For each author, surname followed by initials. List the authors in the order
given in the source. Note that commas go between each name, and also that "and" comes before
the last name in the list.
Example
[1] Watt, J. H. and van der Berg, S. A., 1995, Research Methods for
Communication Science, Allyn and Bacon, Boston, MA.
Edited or translated book

To the standard author entry, simply insert the names of the editor or translator between title and
publication information, separated by a comma. Note that, as with authors, you use the
editor's/translator's initials, followed by the full surname, omitting professional titles but
including personal titles such as "Jr." or "III". Immediately after, identify that person's role by
using either Ed./Eds. (editor/multiple editors) or Trans. (covers both single and multiple
translators), followed by a comma.
Example
