How to format your references using the Advanced Healthcare Materials citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Advanced Healthcare Materials (AHM). 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

P. W. Anderson, Nature 2005, 437, 625.

A journal article with 2 authors

[1]

M. J. Prather, J. Hsu, Science 2010, 330, 952.

A journal article with 3 authors

[1]

J. K. B. Bishop, R. E. Davis, J. T. Sherman, Science 2002, 298, 817.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

[1]

L. G. Reijmers, B. L. Perkins, N. Matsuo, M. Mayford, Science 2007, 317, 1230.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

[1]

S. Geisser, Modes of Parametric Statistical Inference: Geisser/Modes of Parametric Statistical Inference, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ, 2005.

An edited book

[1]

C. Rainieri, Operational Modal Analysis of Civil Engineering Structures: An Introduction and Guide for Applications, Springer, New York, NY, 2014.

A chapter in an edited book

[1]

A. Cataldo, E. De Benedetto, G. Cannazza, in Broadband Reflectometry for Enhanced Diagnostics and Monitoring Applications (Eds: E. De Benedetto, G. Cannazza), Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2011, pp. 85–131.

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 Advanced Healthcare Materials.

Blog post

[1]

A. Carpineti, “Planet In Three-Star System Directly Imaged For The First Time,” can be found under https://www.iflscience.com/space/planet-in-threestar-system-directly-imaged-for-the-first-time/, 2016.

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

[1]

Government Accountability Office, Aviation Security: FAA’s Procurement of Explosives Detection Devices, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1997.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

R. N. Williams, Inclusive Classrooms: A Basic Qualitative Study of K-8 Urban Charter School Teachers, Capella University, Minneapolis, MN, 2017.

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

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference ^[1].
This sentence cites two references ^[1,2].
This sentence cites four references ^[1–4].
