Preprints
Authors. Article Title.Name of Preprint Server (Section), Submission date, record number, version number. DOI/URL (accessed YYYY-MM-DD).
1. Pérez-Guardiola, A.; Sancho-Garcia, J.-C.; Muccioli, L.; Jimenez, A. J. P. Structure and Charge Transport Properties of CycloParaPhenylene Monolayers on Graphite.ChemRxiv, February 26, 2019, ver. 3. DOI: 10.26434/chemrxiv.7411553.v3 (accessed 2019-03-01).
- Many preprint servers give URLs for the items; however, a few (e.g.,ChemRxiv) give DOIs. Use whichever is present, but be aware that in some cases the DOI may link to the final published paper rather than to the preprint/eprint. Include the date that the preprint was accessed in parentheses after the URL or DOI. End the citation with a full stop.
Safety Data Sheets (SDSs)
1. Hydrochloric Acid 7m solution; MSDS No. 4518-89; ChemWatch: Christchurch, March 30, 2006. https://jr.chemwatch.net/ (accessed 2020-10-07).
- The publisher is the organisation or company that provides the SDS. Use the URL for the individual article where possible.
