AIP Style Manual
To cite your sources, you might be required to use the style developed by the American Institute of Physics (AIP). Consult the official AIP citation style manual, AIP Style Manual (1990 ed., 4th ed.) for guidance in writing, editing and citing sources. Some sections of the AIP Style Manual are downloadable for free in PDF.
