How to format your references using the Antarctic Science citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Antarctic Science. 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	Download the output style file
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

Fung, I. 2013. Atmospheric science. A hyperventilating biosphere. Science (New York, N.Y.), 341, 1075–1076.

A journal article with 2 authors

Habibi, M.K. & Lu, Y. 2014. Crack propagation in bamboo’s hierarchical cellular structure. Scientific reports, 4, 5598.

A journal article with 3 authors

Ghoshal, G., Chi, L. & Barabási, A.-L. 2013. Uncovering the role of elementary processes in network evolution. Scientific reports, 3, 2920.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Bauer, A., Westkämper, F., Grimme, S. & Bach, T. 2005. Catalytic enantioselective reactions driven by photoinduced electron transfer. Nature, 436, 1139–1140.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Kaschke, M., Donnerhacke, K.-H. & Rill, M.S. 2014. Optical Devices in Ophthalmology and Optometry. Weinheim, Germany: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

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 Antarctic Science.

Blog post

Carpineti, A. 2016. Study Suggests Badgers Do Not Spread TB To Cattle Directly. IFLScience Available at: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/study-suggests-badgers-do-not-spread-tb-to-cattle-directly/ [Accessed October 30, 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. 2000. Executive Office of the President: Analysis of EOP’s 1999 Information Technology Architecture Update and Capital Investment Plan Report (AIMD-00-63R). 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

Schwartz, K.A. 2010. Dynamics of Teacher Self-Efficacy: Middle School Reading and Language Arts Teacher Responses on a Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale. Doctoral dissertation, Tampa, FL: University of South Florida.

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, G. 2010. Clouds Part Long Enough For a Memorable Ride. New York Times, SP9.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Fung 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Fung 2013, Habibi & Lu 2014).

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

Two authors: (Habibi & Lu 2014)
Three or more authors: (Bauer et al. 2005)
