What is ASCE Style?

ASCE Style is a common name given to the referencing style developed by the American Society of Civil Engineers. The main rules and guidelines for ASCE references and citations are described in Publishing in ASCE Journals, a manual issued by the American Society of Civil Engineers itself.

ASCE Style is used predominantly in the field of civil and environmental engineering and is adopted by scholarly journals and university departments specialised in this field. Among scholarly journals adopting ASCE Style for references, the most notable ones are those published by the ASCE, e.g. Journal of Structural Engineering, Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, International Journal of Geomechanics, Journal of Infrastructure Systems, and so on.
