ACM In-text & Reference Examples

Remember….

  • Reference list is not in alphabetical order—entries are listed in order of appearance in your paper.  (So your first citation is [1] and appears first on the list at the end of your paper.)
  • If you quote or paraphrase the same source again, use the same number.  Your source might be cited several times in-text, but only one bibliographic entry per source.
  • Conference proceedings look like articles but they are cited a little differently—see examples below.
  • Do not make a separate page for your Reference list.  After the last line of the body of your paper, type the word “REFERENCES” bold & caps.
  • Reference list is single-spaced and in numerical order with each source appearing one time.

 

Here are some examples of in-text citation in body of paper and Reference list.                                                                                            

           We note that a deterministic near-linear time min-cut algorithm is known for planar graphs [4].  We are not aware of anyone else that

has observed that a large minimum degree in a simple graph implies few minimum cuts, though it does appear that this fact could also

be derived from  the cactus representation [5].  For more detailed history for the global minimum cut problem, we refer the reader to

the book by Schrijver [29].

          Our presentation is necessarily at a high level, omitting many details, but the interested reader can find the complete

specification online [91, 103] if they would like to read more about this issue.

          The point is that to find a minimum cut, they just have to guess a vertex t on the side that s does not belong to. The s-t cuts

are understood via Menger’s classic theorem [25].  Kohler et al. [54] designed DCCP, a datagram congestion control protocol without

reliability. Within this process, two partial formalizations were done, one using finite state machines, and one using colored Petri

nets by Vanit-Anunchai et al. [105].
