Online Reference Generator to Ease Your Academic Burden

At this website, students and young writers can discover a new advanced ACS style guide along with the citation generator. It is the latest response to your academic questions related to formatting. We are improving the page as well as our free ACS eBook citation generator each time the American Chemical Society publishes new writing standards or updates the existing writing guide.
In the meantime, the content from the old guide may be seen below. If you find this part too confusing or time-consuming, simply use our innovative solution in the shape of referencing machine. You can trust this generator for 100% as it was designed and created by the most talented experts from the corresponding fields:

• Web developers
• Designers
• Educators
• Academic writers

Before inserting the name of your source into the fields of our machine, please make sure you really want to use it in your work. According to the latest regulations, the sources have to be no older than five years old. Also, teachers prefer scholarly sources that can be found online. Otherwise, they may doubt that a student has really bought a book or found a rare journal issue just to read several related pages. Besides, the teachers usually want to view the full article and see whether the student has mentioned credible information. In other words, make sure you allow your instructor to access the sources of your choice without having to search for them in the traditional libraries or purchase them online.

You may be unaware of the American Chemical Society writing style known as ACS. If you are not studying Chemistry or Physics, you don’t need to worry. Most probably, you will face the need to quote only in MLA, APA or other popular and commonly applied referencing styles. However, be ready that your Chemistry teacher will most probably ask you to format your writing assignments according to this specific format. Your Chemistry works may be:

• Essays
• Research papers
• Term papers
• Lab reports
• Coursework projects
• Dissertations

• In-text citations which can be either direct (when you leave the words of the author in the same way/copy-paste) and indirect (when you rewrite the ideas in your own words)
• Reference list (a Bibliography with the list of all sources used throughout the paper)

In-text citations share short defining information within the text. To insert an in-text citation, the writer has to introduce it somehow. Such phrases/transition words as “according to…,” “based on…,” “as mentioned by…” and others help. Once you begin the sentence with this phrase, you should go on with the words of another author you wish to share using quotation marks. In the brackets next to the source, you should specify the number. Another way is to put the last name of the author and year of publication. You’ll specify the rest of the details in your Bibliography.

How exactly should one add ACS in-text eBook citation? The simplest and quickest way is to apply our generator. However, to let you understand the nature of this style, we’ll explain it literally.

First of all, keep in mind there are three ways to add in-text citations in ACS style:

• Superscript numbers
• Italic numbers
• Author-date style

The first case requires adding a number in the shape of superscript at the end of the cited/quoted sentence. Stick to this rule if your chosen sentence has no reminder of the author. If you put a name of the author somewhere in the sentence, insert a superscript right next to the name.

Dwayne¹ states that electrons are a type of subatomic particle with a negative charge.

Italic numbers also appear in the end. The only difference is that they appear in the brackets.

Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass (1).

Finally, you are most probably aware of the author-date style as it is used in MLA and APA. It’s easy: once you insert a quotation, mention the author’s last name and year of publication in the brackets next to the quoted sentence.

Each element has a unique number of protons (Roland, 2001).

P.S.: When there are two authors per source, make sure to apply “and” between their names. If there are more than two authors, apply “et al.” But the first time you recall this source, make sure to list all surnames.

Now, it’s time to talk a little bit about ACS referencing style for eBook on the example of the Reference List, the second part of the paper formatting. Once again, you can leave all your troubles behind and rely on our service. We will create a reference list in a couple of minutes or even seconds. To specify, an automated system will do it for you no matter what kind of sources you use. Even if you don’t possess the full information on the source, trust our machine which is never wrong.

There are different rules of referencing depending on the resources students choose. As you may know, primary sources include:

• Books and eBooks
• Journals
• Scientific magazines
• Research papers
• Articles
• Videos

Here is the table you may keep in front of you each time you have to cite and refer a book or an eBook.

Single author	Brown, M. Principles of Chemistry: The Basic Concepts, 2nd ed.; McGraw-Hill: Boston, 2006.
Edited Book	Kregg, N. Theory of Photodissociation. In Easy and Logical Chemical Physics; Bang, S. A., Ed.; Wiley: New York, 2011; Vol. 112; p 143.
Book in Series	Swiss, P. L. Polymer Chemistry for Undergraduates. In Introduction of Macromolecular Science; ACS Symposium Series 1151; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 2012; pp 116-122.
Article from a reference book	Powder Metallurgy. Max Evans Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 4th ed.; Wiley: New York, 1985; Vol. 22, pp 30-60.

eBooks usually look like the traditional books with the only difference that you can download them for free or view online. That is why eBooks are usually cited in the same way as traditional textbooks.
