How to format your references using the Anglia citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Anglia. 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.
EndNoteFind the style here: output styles overview
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Albarède, Francis. 2005. “Geophysics. Helium Feels the Heat in Earth’s Mantle”. Science (New York, N.Y.) 310: 1777–1778.
A journal article with 2 authors
Sigala, Natasha and Nikos K. Logothetis. 2002. “Visual Categorization Shapes Feature Selectivity in the Primate Temporal Cortex”. Nature 415: 318–320.
A journal article with 3 authors
Dragoi, V., C. Rivadulla and M. Sur. 2001. “Foci of Orientation Plasticity in Visual Cortex”. Nature 411: 80–86.
A journal article with 11 or more authors
Xu, G., M. Cirilli, Y. Huang, R. L. Rich, D. G. Myszka and H. Wu. 2001. “Covalent Inhibition Revealed by the Crystal Structure of the Caspase-8/P35 Complex”. Nature 410: 494–497.

Books and book chapters

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

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 Anglia.

Blog post
O`Callaghan, Jonathan. 2017. “People In Southwest England Have The Worst Carbon Footprints”. IFLScience. IFLScience. June 2, 2017 <https://www.iflscience.com/environment/people-in-southwest-england-have-the-worst-carbon-footprints/> [accessed 30 October 2018].

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. 1998. “Rural Utilities Service: Opportunities to Operate Electricity and Telecommunications Loan Programs More Effectively”. RCED-98-42. Washington, DC: 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
Buckowski, Melanie. 2009. “A Wave of Navy Blue Churning”. Doctoral dissertation, Long Beach, CA: 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
Marx, Linda. 2012. “John Blair, Beto Sutter”. New York Times, March 11, 2012.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Albarède 2005).
This sentence cites two references (Albarède 2005; Sigala and Logothetis 2002).

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

  • Two authors: (Sigala and Logothetis 2002)
  • Three authors: (Dragoi, Rivadulla, and Sur 2001)
  • 4 or more authors: (Xu et al. 2001)
