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
Butler, Declan. 2005. “Obituary: Hubert Curien (1924-2005)”. Nature 434: 453.
A journal article with 2 authors
Rampino, Michael R. and Ken Caldeira. 2011. “Comment on ‘Atmospheric PCO₂ Perturbations Associated with the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province’”. Science (New York, N.Y.) 334: 594; author reply 594.
A journal article with 3 authors
Lowes, Michelle A., Anne M. Bowcock and James G. Krueger. 2007. “Pathogenesis and Therapy of Psoriasis”. Nature 445: 866–873.
A journal article with 11 or more authors
Darland-Ransom, Monica, Xiaochen Wang, Chun-Ling Sun, James Mapes, Keiko Gengyo-Ando, Shohei Mitani and Ding Xue. 2008. “Role of C. Elegans TAT-1 Protein in Maintaining Plasma Membrane Phosphatidylserine Asymmetry”. Science (New York, N.Y.) 320: 528–531.

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
Andrew, Elise. 2013. “Thinking Outside the Lab: The Ascent of Citizen Science”. IFLScience. IFLScience. October 27, 2013 <https://www.iflscience.com/technology/thinking-outside-lab-ascent-citizen-science/> [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. 2009. “NASA: Projects Need More Disciplined Oversight and Management to Address Key Challenges”. GAO-09-436T. 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
Moreno, Socorro. 2009. “Mother-Child Relationships: Females behind Bars and Their Children”. 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
Vecsey, George. 2009. “In Season of Defense, Recalling Swoboda’s Catch”. New York Times, October 15, 2009.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Butler 2005).
This sentence cites two references (Butler 2005; Rampino and Caldeira 2011).

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

  • Two authors: (Rampino and Caldeira 2011)
  • Three authors: (Lowes, Bowcock, and Krueger 2007)
  • 4 or more authors: (Darland-Ransom et al. 2008)
