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

Shimada, T. 2014. A universal transition in the robustness of evolving open systems. Scientific reports, 4, 4082.

A journal article with 2 authors

Morris, R.G. & Barthelemy, M. 2013. Interdependent networks: the fragility of control. Scientific reports, 3, 2764.

A journal article with 3 authors

Tischer, T., Hörmanseder, E. & Mayer, T.U. 2012. The APC/C inhibitor XErp1/Emi2 is essential for Xenopus early embryonic divisions. Science (New York, N.Y.), 338, 520–524.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Williams, P.A., Cosme, J., Ward, A., Angove, H.C., Matak Vinković, D. & Jhoti, H. 2003. Crystal structure of human cytochrome P450 2C9 with bound warfarin. Nature, 424, 464–468.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

A chapter in an edited book

Unconventional Computation: 8th International Conference, UC 2009, Ponta Delgada, Portugal, September 7-11, 2009. Proceedings. Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer, 4–5.

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

Luntz, S. 2015. Eyes Are A Lot More Expensive Than We Thought. IFLScience Available at: https://www.iflscience.com/brain/cost-sight/ [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. 1985. Review of the Department of Agriculture’s Role in Regulating Biotechnology. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office. 128550.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Ressler, K.M. 2008. The path to leadership for Native American women at North Dakota tribal colleges. Doctoral dissertation, Minneapolis, MN: Capella University.

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

(nyt), S.K. 2002. World Business Briefing | Europe: Russia: Genetics Rule Considered. New York Times, W1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Shimada 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Shimada 2014, Morris & Barthelemy 2013).

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

Two authors: (Morris & Barthelemy 2013)
Three or more authors: (Williams et al. 2003)
