How to format your references using the Angelaki citation style

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

Tu, Y. “How robust is the Internet?” Nature 406.6794 (2000): 353–354.

A journal article with 2 authors

Glimcher, Paul W., and Aldo Rustichini. “Neuroeconomics: the consilience of brain and decision.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 306.5695 (2004): 447–452.

A journal article with 3 authors

Winston, William M., Christina Molodowitch, and Craig P. Hunter. “Systemic RNAi in C. elegans requires the putative transmembrane protein SID-1.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 295.5564 (2002): 2456–2459.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

He, Yizhou Joseph et al. “DYNLL1 binds to MRE11 to limit DNA end resection in BRCA1-deficient cells.” Nature 563.7732 (2018): 522–526.

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 Angelaki.

Blog post

Taub, Ben. “Newly Discovered Fossils Provide Snapshot Of Life On Earth Before The Oxygen Crisis.” IFLScience. IFLScience, 30 Nov. 2016. Online. Internet. 30 Oct. 2018. . Available: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/newly-discovered-fossils-provide-life-earth-before-oxygen-crisis/.

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. Information Technology Management: Small Business Administration Needs Policies and Procedures to Control Key IT Processes. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, July 20, 2000.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Simon, Jordan T. “Classification of Mechanical and Electrical Response of High Performance Fiber Reinforced-Geopolymer Composites (HPFR-GPC).” Doctoral dissertation, Lafayette, LA: University of Louisiana, 2017.

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

Halbfinger, David M., and Ben Hubbard. “Airstrikes on Syrian Sites Renew Focus on Chemical Arms.” New York Times, 7 Sep. 2017: A6.
