CSE Presentation / Conference Talk Citation Generator

Citing a presentation / conference talk (academic lecture, poster, or slide deck) under the Council of Science Editors (9th Edition, Name-Year) framework requires combining Council of Science Editors (Name-Year)'s punctuation hierarchy with the specific metadata of the source. To construct a compliant entry, researchers must collect the presenter(s), presentation date range, presentation or poster title, presentation type (e.g., Conference session, Poster presentation), conference name, and location. In the body of your paper, Council of Science Editors (Name-Year) utilizes parenthetical name-year references with no comma between the surname and year (e.g., Darwin 1859), which links directly to an entry organized in alphabetical by first author family name and chronological by year of publication.

When formatting a presentation / conference talk in Council of Science Editors (Name-Year), pay close attention to contributor names and capitalization. Specifically, Council of Science Editors (Name-Year) enforces surname followed by initials with no periods or commas between them (e.g., Mendel GJ, Morgan TH), listing up to 10 authors, and applies sentence case for both book and journal article titles without quotation marks or italics, paired with ISO-4 abbreviated journal titles. CSE Name-Year strips virtually all decorative punctuation—removing periods from author initials and journal abbreviations, and omitting italics from book titles. Furthermore, if your presentation / conference talk does not display an individual creator, the rule is straightforward: credit the academic department, lab group, or organization that delivered the presentation.

For digital and online presentation / conference talk references, Council of Science Editors (Name-Year) stipulates appending "[Internet]" after the container title, including "[accessed YYYY Mon DD]" in brackets, and stating "Available from:" before the URL. If you are citing lecture slides uploaded to a university Learning Management System (like Canvas or Blackboard), include the LMS name and login URL.
