ACS Style
The ACS Style Guide is published by the American Chemical Society as a guide to style and layout conventions in the preparation of papers and presentations with special emphasis on ACS publication requirements. See particularly Chapter 6 on References.Their website says:
"The essential desk reference for authors, editors, and publishers of scientific research, the ACS Style Guide is a complete stylistic handbook. Topics include grammar, style, usage, illustrations, tables, lists, and units of measure, as well as the conventions used in chemistry. It also covers numerous related topics, from peer review and copyrights to oral presentations and the ACS ethical guidelines for publication. Lively and practical, this reference will help any chemist communicate effectively."
