This guide suggests a format to cite literature in documents prepared for CNR 470. You can use this CNR 470 format or you can use the format of another natural resource publication. If citations in your document are not consistent, you will be asked to furnish the format and style that you followed. This CNR 470 format is based on: The CBE Manual for Authors, Editors, and Publishers, and the Journals of Wildlife Management, Forestry, and Range Management.
