How to format your references using the Anatolia citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Anatolia. 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:

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most reference managers.
BibTeXBibTeX styles 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
Goldston, D. (2007). Political climate. Nature, 450(7168), 333.
A journal article with 2 authors
Gerardot, B. D., & Ohberg, P. (2009). Physics. A strongly driven spin. Science (New York, N.Y.), 326(5959), 1489–1490.
A journal article with 3 authors
Zhang, Y.-C., Song, S.-W., & Liu, W.-M. (2014). The confinement induced resonance in spin-orbit coupled cold atoms with Raman coupling. Scientific Reports, 4, 4992.
A journal article with 21 or more authors
Tan, Y., Zhang, S., Zhang, S., Zhang, Y., & Liu, N. (2013). Response of microchip solid-state laser to external frequency-shifted feedback and its applications. Scientific Reports, 3, 2912.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book
Metzger, R. M. (2012). The Physical Chemist’s Toolbox. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
An edited book
Sargis, E. J., & Dagosto, M. (Eds.). (2008). Mammalian Evolutionary Morphology: A Tribute to Frederick S. Szalay. Springer Netherlands.
A chapter in an edited book

Banchs, & B. Babych (Eds.), Hybrid Approaches to Machine Translation (pp. 77–108). Springer International Publishing.

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 Anatolia.

Blog post
Davis, J. (2017, March 22). Sea Otters May Have Been Using Tools Before Modern Humans Even Existed. IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/sea-otters-may-have-been-using-tools-before-modern-humans-even-existed/

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. (1984). High-Quality Senior Marine Corps Officers: How Many Stay Beyond 20 Years of Service? (PEMD-85-1). U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation
Voma, S. K. (2017). Design of Power Management Circuit for Energy Harvesting Applications [Doctoral dissertation]. California State University, Long Beach.

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
Lear, S. (2011, January 9). Beyond the Edge of the World. New York Times, BR11.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Goldston, 2007).
This sentence cites two references (Gerardot & Ohberg, 2009; Goldston, 2007).

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

  • Two authors: (Gerardot & Ohberg, 2009)
  • Three or more authors: (Tan et al., 2013)
