= The APS citation style=

In APS there are own rules especially for the following genres:


 * Article
 * Books
 * Proceedings Papers
 * Reports
 * Preprints
 * Theses

Besides that there are rules for "others" (other publication types).

Overall Rules

 * Persons are always given in the following format:  , e.g. "N. Y. Kondic"
 * If there are two persons, they are connected with an "and", e.g.: N. Y. Kondic and K. Büchner
 * If there are more than two persons all are separated by a comma, except the last author and the 2nd last author, e.g.: N. Y. Kondic, U. Tschida, M. Dreyer, T. Schraut and K. Büchner
 * Only the (date published in print) is given, only the year, not the month and/or day and always put into brackets, e.g. (2007)
 * The citation either ends with the year in brackets, followed by a dot, e.g. (2007). or with the information on the formal publication in brackets, followed by a dot, e.g (unpublished).

Journal Article
If all information for the citation is given, the citation for a published article looks the following: N. Y. Kondic, Test Journal 25, 1 (2008). So:  [,]  in bold[,]  (year)[.]
