How to format your references using the Agriculture and Human Values citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Agriculture and Human Values. 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.

Jones, David. 2001. DaedalusThe tense road. Nature 411: 758.

A journal article with 2 authors

Wulder, Michael A., and Nicholas C. Coops. 2014. Satellites: Make Earth observations open access. Nature 513: 30–31.

A journal article with 3 authors

Hopkins, Andrew L., Michael J. Witty, and Solomon Nwaka. 2007. Mission possible. Nature 449: 166–169.

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. 1968. Opportunity For Savings By Consolidating Photographic Operations At The John F. Kennedy Space Center And The Air Force Eastern Test Range. B-162902. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

New York Times article

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Jones 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Jones 2001; Wulder and Coops 2014).

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