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

Baselga, J. (2006). Targeting tyrosine kinases in cancer: the second wave. Science 312 (5777):1175–1178.

A journal article with 2 authors

Bollrath, J. and Powrie, F. (2013). Immunology. Feed your Tregs more fiber. Science 341 (6145):463–464.

A journal article with 3 authors

Hunte, C., Zickermann, V., and Brandt, U. (2010). Functional modules and structural basis of conformational coupling in mitochondrial complex I. Science 329 (5990):448–451.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Proceedings, Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Y. Luo, ed, Springer International Publishing, Cham, pp. 28–35.

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

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 (2000). Education Discretionary Grants: Awards Process Could Benefit From Additional Improvements (No. HEHS-00-55). 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

Zhang, Y. (2017). Toward a Molecular Mechanism of Phase Separation in Disordered Elastin-Like Proteins (Doctoral dissertation). Mississippi State University, Mississippi State, MS.

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

Schilling, M.K. (2016). Simply Grand. New York Times M2218.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Baselga 2006).
This sentence cites two references (Bollrath and Powrie 2013; Baselga 2006).

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

Two authors: (Bollrath and Powrie 2013)
Three or more authors: (Jaakola et al. 2008)
