Course Materials

Information

Course material should not be referenced unless it contains original material. Instead, you should go to the original source of the research on which the lecture was based, then cite the original work.

If you cite course materials, a specific format is not covered in the current ACS Guide. The citation format given here is derived from the ACS instructions for creating a citation for a new content type, with course lectures and Power Point presentations being considered most similar to Audio-Visual materials.

A note is added in brackets to indicate the format of the material.

An access date must be provided.
