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

Hurst, J.K., 2010. Chemistry. In pursuit of water oxidation catalysts for solar fuel production. Science 328, 315–316.

A journal article with 2 authors

Mochida, S., Hunt, T., 2007. Calcineurin is required to release Xenopus egg extracts from meiotic M phase. Nature 449, 336–340.

Blog post

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. Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children: Federal Support for Developing Language and Literacy (No. GAO-11-357). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Hurst, 2010).
This sentence cites two references (Hurst, 2010; Mochida and Hunt, 2007).

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

Two authors: (Mochida and Hunt, 2007)
Three or more authors: (Ito et al., 2010)
