Create a spot-on reference in RSC
What is RSC Style?
The acronym RSC stands for Royal Society of Chemistry. The Royal Society of Chemistry is a UK-based learned society involved in the sector of chemical research and specialised in the publication of a number of worldwide-renowned scholarly journals in chemistry.
RSC Style is the referencing style developed by the Royal Society of Chemistry and used by its journals, as well as by other publications and organisations in the chemical science.
What are the particularities of RSC Style?
While sharing many of the common characteristics of referencing styles in the chemical sector, RSC style has a number of specific features.
Summarising, it can be stated that the style often omits titles of works in bibliographic references, which is namely true speaking of journal articles, book sections, patents, etc. Another particular feature is the fact that RSC Style requires omitting URLs in references for any sources except those that exist only in the online form (e.g. a webpage or an online video). Nevertheless, the DOI can be given for the journal article when the volume number and the page range are missing.
There are a number of other tiny nuances that one should be aware of when submitting a paper to the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Also, it is worth noting that the Royal Society of Chemistry has its official Endnote referencing scheme that can be used within this software to create references. Interestingly enough, even these official files contain some errors such as the incorrect spelling of edition numbers for books.
