How to format your references using the Aeolian Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Aeolian Research. 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

Goodson, K.E., 2007. Materials science. Ordering up the minimum thermal conductivity of solids. Science 315, 342–343.

A journal article with 2 authors

(Eds.), Surveying Human Vulnerabilities across the Life Course, Life Course Research and Social Policies. Springer International Publishing, Cham, pp. 87–111.

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 Aeolian Research.

Blog post

Fang, J., 2014. Frozen Poop Pills Could Fight Deadly Infections [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/frozen-poop-pills-make-fecal-transplants-easier-swallow/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1998. Information Technology: Assessment of the Department of Commerce’s Report on Workforce Demand and Supply (No. HEHS-98-106). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Al Hashimi, H., 2017. Local Measurement and Characterization via Fluorescing Materials for Phase Change Heat Transfer Applications (Doctoral dissertation). University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, MD.

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

Feldstein, M.S., Halstead, T., Gregory Mankiw, N., 2017. A Conservative Case for Climate Action. New York Times A25.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Goodson, 2007).
This sentence cites two references (Goodson, 2007; Simpkins and Kuck, 2000).

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

Two authors: (Simpkins and Kuck, 2000)
Three or more authors: (Lee et al., 2001)
