How to format your references using the Academy of Management Review citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Academy of Management Review (AMR). For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

Typically you don't format your citations and bibliography by hand. The easiest way is to use a reference manager:

Paperpile	The citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNote	Download the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and others	The style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeX	BibTeX syles are usually part of a LaTeX template. Check the instructions to authors if the publisher offers a LaTeX template for this journal.

Journal articles

Those examples are references to articles in scholarly journals and how they are supposed to appear in your bibliography.

Not all journals organize their published articles in volumes and issues, so these fields are optional. Some electronic journals do not provide a page range, but instead list an article identifier. In a case like this it's safe to use the article identifier instead of the page range.

A journal article with 1 author

Lawler, A. 2014. In search of Green Arabia. Science (New York, N.Y.), 345(6200): 994–997.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ashworth, A. C., & Thompson, F. C. 2003. Palaeontology: A fly in the biogeographic ointment. Nature, 423(6936): 135–136.

A journal article with 3 authors

Bunge, J., Epstein, S. S., & Peterson, D. G. 2006. Comment on “Computational improvements reveal great bacterial diversity and high metal toxicity in soil.” Science (New York, N.Y.), 313(5789): 918; author reply 918.

A journal article with 6 or more authors

de Lucas, M., Davière, J.-M., Rodríguez-Falcón, M., Pontin, M., Iglesias-Pedraz, J. M., et al. 2008. A molecular framework for light and gibberellin control of cell elongation. Nature, 451(7177): 480–484.

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as book chapters.

An authored book

Blog post

Hamilton, K. 2015, April 6. Water Droplets Pop Off Gecko Skin Like Popcorn. IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/water-droplets-pop-gecko-skin-popcorn/.

Reports

This example shows the general structure used for government reports, technical reports, and scientific reports. If you can't locate the report number then it might be better to cite the report as a book. For reports it is usually not individual people that are credited as authors, but a governmental department or agency like "U. S. Food and Drug Administration" or "National Cancer Institute".

Government report

Government Accountability Office. 2009. Information Technology: Agencies Need to Improve the Implementation and Use of Earned Value Techniques to Help Manage Major System Acquisitions. no. GAO-10-2, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Hantgan, A. 2013. Aspects of Bangime Phonology, Morphology, and Morphosyntax. Doctoral dissertation, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN.

News paper articles

Unlike scholarly journals, news papers do not usually have a volume and issue number. Instead, the full date and page number is required for a correct reference.

New York Times article

Hubbard, B., & Sengupta, S. 2016, December 19. Russia Backs U.N. Vote to Send Monitors to Aleppo, as Evacuations Resume. New York Times, A8.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (Lawler, 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Ashworth & Thompson, 2003; Lawler, 2014).

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:

Two authors: (Ashworth & Thompson, 2003)
Three authors: (Bunge, Epstein, & Peterson, 2006)
6 or more authors: (de Lucas et al., 2008)
