How to format your references using the Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology. 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	Find the style here: output styles overview
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

Schröder, R. (2003). The genes orthodenticle and hunchback substitute for bicoid in the beetle Tribolium. Nature, 422(6932), 621–625.

A journal article with 2 authors

Lam, I., & Keeney, S. (2015). Nonparadoxical evolutionary stability of the recombination initiation landscape in yeast. Science (New York, N.Y.), 350(6263), 932–937.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kolodner, R. D., Cleveland, D. W., & Putnam, C. D. (2011). Cancer. Aneuploidy drives a mutator phenotype in cancer. Science (New York, N.Y.), 333(6045), 942–943.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Robledo, L., Elzerman, J., Jundt, G., Atatüre, M., Högele, A., Fält, S., & Imamoglu, A. (2008). Conditional dynamics of interacting quantum dots. Science (New York, N.Y.), 320(5877), 772–775.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

A chapter in an edited book

Web sites

Sometimes references to web sites should appear directly in the text rather than in the bibliography. Refer to the Instructions to authors for Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology.

Blog post

Andrew, E. (2014, May 9). Nanoparticles Give Tumors One-Two Punch By Timing Drug Delivery. IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/nanoparticles-give-tumors-one-two-punch-timing-drug-delivery/. Accessed 30 October 2018

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. (2011). Information Technology: Continued Attention Needed to Accurately Report Federal Spending and Improve Management (No. GAO-11-831T). 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

Naughton, C. C. (2013). Assessing Appropriate Technology Handwashing Stations in Mali, West Africa (Doctoral dissertation). University of South Florida, Tampa, FL.

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

Koblin, J. (2017, October 10). Apple’s First Big TV Move: A Spielberg Series Reboot. New York Times, p. B3.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Schröder 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Lam and Keeney 2015; Schröder 2003).

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

Two authors: (Lam and Keeney 2015)
Three or more authors: (Robledo et al. 2008)
