Asm Citation Example

The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) citation style is commonly used in scientific and medical research papers. When using the ASM style, citations are numbered in the order they appear in the text, and the corresponding reference list is also numbered. Here’s an example of how to cite different types of sources using the ASM style:

In-text citations:

1. A single author: Text (1) Reference:

2. Smith, J. 2020. The role of bacteria in human disease. J. Bacteriol. 202:1-10.

3. Two authors: Text (2) Reference:

4. Johnson, K., and S. Thompson. 2019. Microbial communities in soil. Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 85:1-12.

5. Three or more authors: Text (3) Reference:

6. Williams, P., J. Brown, M. Davis, and T. Miller. 2018. Antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens. Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 62:1-10.

Note: The above examples illustrate the basic format for ASM citations. The specifics might vary depending on the source type or the requirements of the journal or publication you’re submitting to. Always check the latest guidelines or consult with the publication for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
