How to format your references using the Aerosol Science and Technology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Aerosol Science and Technology. 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

Crouch, T. (2013). Harold Melvin Agnew (1921-2013). Nature 503 (7474):40.

A journal article with 2 authors

Zitvogel, L. and Kroemer, G. (2015). CANCER. A p53-regulated immune checkpoint relevant to cancer. Science 349 (6247):476–477.

A journal article with 3 authors

Katsanis, S.H., Javitt, G., and Hudson, K. (2008). Public health. A case study of personalized medicine. Science 320 (5872):53–54.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

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 Aerosol Science and Technology.

Blog post

Andrew, D. (2016). Understanding The Four Types Of AI, From Reactive Robots To Self-Aware BeingsIFLScience. Available at https://www.iflscience.com/technology/understanding-the-four-types-of-ai-from-reactive-robots-to-selfaware-beings/ (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 (1997). National Airspace System: Questions Concerning FAA’s Wide Area Augmentation System (No. RCED-97-219R). 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

Lin, H.-C. (2013). Depression screening in ambulatory care (Doctoral dissertation). California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA.

News paper articles

New York Times article

Sisario, B. (2017). McCartney Sues to Get Back His Songs. New York Times B2.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Crouch 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Zitvogel and Kroemer 2015; Crouch 2013).

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

Two authors: (Zitvogel and Kroemer 2015)
Three or more authors: (Begum et al. 2004)
