ASME Citation Style for Mechanical Engineers

ASME uses a slightly modified version of the Chicago citation style. To cite standards in ASME's preferred format:

Example: National Information Standards Organization. Bibliographic References. ANSI/NISO Z39.29-2005. Bethesda, MD: NISO, approved June 9, 2005; reaffirmed May 13, 2010.
