Formatting Citations in SAE Technical Papers
SAEs publications team is committed to listening to and acting upon the concerns of our contributors. Over the past few years, weve received feedback from technical paper authors who have expressed a need and desire of being cited in recognized impactful journals this has led to SAEs publication of scholarly journals. One important aspect of our journals evaluation for indexing and impact factor is to have proper and consistent citations. We have worked over the past three years to improve the consistency of our citations by displaying proper paper citations on our website and by providing author tools for ease of downloading these citations for inclusion in future works. Below are examples of references to illustrate the proper presentation of references for a variety of sources. Please include the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for all online referencesthey will enable readers of online publications to locate reference material efficiently. To find the DOI associated with a reference, use the free search feature at http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/. All SAE published papers are assigned a DOI (doi:10.4271/20xx-01-xxxx). It is our intent to publish quality, impactful, highly cited technical research; to that end, we encourage you to review and follow the rules and guidelines set forth in the reference listing of the SAE Technical Paper Style Guide.
