JWM: The What and Why

The Journal of Wildlife Management (JWM) Citation Style is modeled on the publishing requirements from the Journal of Wildlife Management. These guidelines are used in the Fisheries and Wildlife program. The most recent edition is the October 2023 edition.

Your professor isn't asking you to use JWM style just to make your life harder. Following a citation style is important because it gives you a way to show which work is yours, what information you found from other sources, and makes it easy for the person reading your paper to find the sources used. Building your knowledge of formatting and citing in JWM will also help you in your future, whether you plan on entering the workforce or continuing your education.
