PCE follows the "your paper, your way" principle. We do not request any specific citation or formatting style until after a paper has been accepted for publication. However, the citation and formatting style needs to be clear and consistent. It is up to the author to change the citation style according to the journal's requirements once the manuscript is accepted.
