Things to Remember When Citing PSA Journals
Poultry Science ® and The Journal of Applied Poultry Science contain a wealth of information. Make sure you follow a few important steps for citing research in these journals:

  • Work efficiently! The webpage for every PSA journal article has a link below the article title that says “Cite.” Click this link for a citation already formatted for you. Copy and Paste this citation into your document.

  • From this citation link, you can also download citations compatible with a range of reference management platforms: Ris (Zotero), EndNote, BibTex, Medlars, ProCite, RefWorks and Reference Manager.

  • Remember—properly citing PSA journals will improve the quality of your manuscript and will boost the impact factor of these important resources.

  • Fun fact! You can even cite research in social media posts by including just the doi in your post.
