How to format your references using the Antiquity citation style

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

Sönnichsen, C. 2011. Physics. Detecting intruders on the nanoscale. Science (New York, N.Y.) 332: 1389–90.

A journal article with 2 authors

Rudolph, M.L. & S. Zhong. 2013. Does quadrupole stability imply LLSVP fixity? Nature 503: E3-4.

A journal article with 3 authors

Killian, N.J., M.J. Jutras & E.A. Buffalo. 2012. A map of visual space in the primate entorhinal cortex. Nature 491: 761–64.

A journal article with 99 or more authors

Ting, D.T. et al. 2011. Aberrant overexpression of satellite repeats in pancreatic and other epithelial cancers. Science (New York, N.Y.) 331: 593–96.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Schmidt, P., R. Körber & M. Coppers. 2003. Sieben und Siebmaschinen. Weinheim, FRG: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

An edited book

Chiappelli, F. (ed.). 2010. Evidence-Based Practice: Toward Optimizing Clinical Outcomes. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Campioni, I., G. Notarangelo, U. Andreaus, A. Ventura & C. Giacomozzi. 2013. Hip Prostheses Computational Modeling: FEM Simulations Integrated with Fatigue Mechanical Tests, in U. Andreaus & D. Iacoviello (ed.) Biomedical Imaging and Computational Modeling in Biomechanics: 81–108 (Lecture Notes in Computational Vision and Biomechanics). Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands.

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 Antiquity.

Blog post

Carpineti, A. 2016. This Demonstration With A Pig’s Eye Shows Why You Should NEVER Look At The Sun Through A Telescope. IFLScience. IFLScience. May 4. https://www.iflscience.com/space/why-you-don-t-look-sun-through-telescope/.

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. 2002. Intercity Passenger Rail: Congress Faces Critical Decisions in Developing a National Policy. GAO-02-522T. 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

Powell, F.M. 2012. A study of the effects of nanoparticle modification on the thermal, mechanical and hygrothermal performance of carbon/vinyl ester composites. Doctoral dissertation, Boca Raton, FL: Florida Atlantic 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

Kenigsberg, B. 2017. Gook. New York Times, August 24.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Sönnichsen 2011).
This sentence cites two references (Sönnichsen 2011; Rudolph & Zhong 2013).

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

Two authors: (Rudolph & Zhong 2013)
Three or more authors: (Ting et al. 2011)
