Notes

Journal titles are abbreviated. To find the abbreviation for a journal title see NLM Catalog.

If the article has an article ID or e-Locator, use that instead of the page range. See above example by Wang.

If the article has a DOI, an accessed date is not required.

Do not capitalise the first word in a journal article subtitle.

Preserve the capitalisation of a preprint server's name as it appears on the site (e.g. do not convert bioRxiv to Bioarxiv).

Be aware that publications on preprint servers may not have been peer reviewed or edited. If the document has been reviewed and published in journal, use that version instead.
