How to format your references using the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for American Journal of Enology and Viticulture (AJEV). 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.

Ball P. 2015. Chemistry: Why synthesize? Nature 528:327–329.

A journal article with 2 authors

Semmelhack JL, Wang JW. 2009. Select Drosophila glomeruli mediate innate olfactory attraction and aversion. Nature 459:218–223.

A journal article with 3 authors

Wu L-A, Walther P, Lidar DA. 2013. No-go theorem for passive single-rail linear optical quantum computing. Sci Rep 3:1394.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Blog post

Andrew E. 2015. Scientist Proposes That Black Holes are Harmless Holograms. IFLScience. as found on the IFLScience website (https://www.iflscience.com/space/black-holes-might-be-harmless/).

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. 1977. Potential Problems That Should Be Considered in Evaluating the Experimental Technology Incentives Program. No. PSAD-77-132U.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

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Ball 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Ball 2015, Semmelhack and Wang 2009).

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

Two authors: (Semmelhack and Wang 2009)
Three authors: (Wu et al. 2013)
Four or more authors: (Fu et al. 2014)
