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

Graham, M.D. 2015. Fluid dynamics: Turbulence spreads like wildfire. Nature 526: 508–9.

A journal article with 2 authors

Campbell, C.T. & C.H.F. Peden. 2005. Chemistry. Oxygen vacancies and catalysis on ceria surfaces. Science (New York, N.Y.) 309: 713–14.

A journal article with 3 authors

Fontana, L., L. Partridge & V.D. Longo. 2010. Extending healthy life span--from yeast to humans. Science (New York, N.Y.) 328: 321–26.

A journal article with 99 or more authors

Shelton, R.K., L.S. Ma, H.C. Kapteyn, M.M. Murnane, J.L. Hall & J. Ye. 2001. Phase-coherent optical pulse synthesis from separate femtosecond lasers. Science (New York, N.Y.) 293: 1286–89.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Lindl, T. & R. Steubing. 2013. Atlas of Living Cell Cultures. Weinheim, Germany: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.

An edited book

Peters, M. (ed.). 2009. Computational Fluid Dynamics for Sport Simulation. Vol. 72 (Lecture Notes in Computational Science and Engineering). Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Lastovetsky, A. 2009. Model-Based Optimization of MPI Collective Operations for Computational Clusters, in M. Ropo, J. Westerholm & J. Dongarra (ed.) Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface: 16th European PVM/MPI Users’ Group Meeting, Espoo, Finland, September 7-10, 2009. Proceedings: 4–5 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

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

Andrew, E. 2015. Another Australian Animal Slips Away To Extinction. IFLScience. IFLScience. January 27. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/another-australian-animal-slips-away-extinction/.

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. 2001. Information Technology: DLA Should Strengthen Business Systems Modernization Architecture and Investment Activities. GAO-01-631. 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

O’Neal, L. 2016. What’s in Your Toolbox?: Examining Tool Choices at Two Middle and Late Woodland-Period Sites on Florida’s Central Gulf Coast. 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

St. John Kelly, E. 1997. Children Find Locks, Not Slides. New York Times, November 23.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Graham 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Campbell & Peden 2005; Graham 2015).

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

Two authors: (Campbell & Peden 2005)
Three or more authors: (Shelton et al. 2001)
