How to format your references using the Analysis and Mathematical Physics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Analysis and Mathematical Physics. 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	Find the style here: output styles overview
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

Macilwain, C.: World view: Wild goose chase. Nature. 463, 291 (2010)

A journal article with 2 authors

Fender, R., Belloni, T.: Stellar-mass black holes and ultraluminous x-ray sources. Science. 337, 540–544 (2012)

A journal article with 3 authors

Warner, D.A., Uller, T., Shine, R.: Transgenerational sex determination: the embryonic environment experienced by a male affects offspring sex ratio. Sci. Rep. 3, 2709 (2013)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Bodelier, P.L., Roslev, P., Henckel, T., Frenzel, P.: Stimulation by ammonium-based fertilizers of methane oxidation in soil around rice roots. Nature. 403, 421–424 (2000)

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as book chapters.

An authored book

Smith, J., Roberts, R.: Vital Signs for Nurses. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK (2015)

An edited book

Pochet, Y.: Production Planning by Mixed Integer Programming. Springer, New York, NY (2006)

A chapter in an edited book

de Oliveira, H.B., Paiva, A.: On a One-Equation Turbulent Model with Feedbacks. In: Pinelas, S., Došlá, Z., Došlý, O., and Kloeden, P.E. (eds.) Differential and Difference Equations with Applications: ICDDEA, Amadora, Portugal, May 2015, Selected Contributions. pp. 51–61. Springer International Publishing, Cham (2016)

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 Analysis and Mathematical Physics.

Blog post

Andrews, R.: Map Of Earth’s Mantle Reveals That It’s Churning 10 Times Faster Than We Thought, https://www.iflscience.com/environment/global-map-mantle-reveal-its-churning-around-ten-times-faster-we-previously-thought/

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: DOD Acquisition: Case Study of the Air Force Space Based Space Surveillance System. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1986)

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Washington-Cobb, S.L.: Exploring the Experiences of Former Alternative Education Participants: Case Studies, (2012)

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

Creswell, J., Story, L.: On All Levels of the Economy, Concern About the Impasse: Losing Top Rating Could Cost Growth And Job Creation, (2011)

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1, 2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
