References
References must be prepared in Word, double-spaced, and listed in alphabetical order. Include the reference section as part of the main text file, not as a separate file. Each reference should include a complete list of authors and the complete title of the cited article. Use journal abbreviations as provided by PubMed/Medline.
All references should be cited by author(s) and dates within the text [i.e., The resultant metabolic acidosis induces compensatory increased minute ventilation that attenuates the diminished arterial oxygen availability at high altitude (Swenson, 2014)]. If more than two authors are involved, use et al. after the first author's name [i.e., (Simonneau et al., 2019)]. If more than one article by the same author(s) and year is cited in the text, use a lowercase letter designation to indicate the individual article [i.e., (Luks and Swenson, 2020a)]. Use the same designation in the reference list.
If references to personal communications or unpublished data are used, they are not to be in the list of references. They should be referred to in the text in parentheses: (AB Jones, personal communication, month and year). Include among the references any articles that have been accepted but have not yet published; identify the name of publication and add "In Press." If the reference has been published online, provide the DOI number in place of the page range.
