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

Dickson, D. 2000. Unesco backs ‘science for debt’ plan. Nature 404: 911.

A journal article with 2 authors

Cranch, G.A. & S. Foster. 2012. Comment on ‘Probing the ultimate limit of fiber-optic strain sensing’. Science (New York, N.Y.) 335: 286; author reply 286.

A journal article with 3 authors

Willis, G.L., C. Moore & S.M. Armstrong. 2014. Parkinson’s disease, lights and melanocytes: looking beyond the retina. Scientific reports 4: 3921.

A journal article with 10 or more authors

Wang, D., J. Qian, W. Qin, A. Qin, B.Z. Tang & S. He. 2014. Biocompatible and photostable AIE dots with red emission for in vivo two-photon bioimaging. Scientific reports 4: 4279.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Gupta, K.M. & N. Gupta. 2015. Advanced Electrical and Electronics Materials. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

Graziottin, A. 2011. Vulvodinia: Strategie di diagnosi e cura. (ed.)F. Murina. Milano: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Liza, F.F. & M. Grześ. 2016. Estimating the Accuracy of Spectral Learning for HMMs, in C. Dichev & G. Agre (ed.) Artificial Intelligence: Methodology, Systems, and Applications: 17th International Conference, AIMSA 2016, Varna, Bulgaria, September 7-10, 2016, Proceedings: 46–56 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Cham: Springer International Publishing.

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. Pulsating White Dwarf Whips Its Companion Star With Beam Of Particles. IFLScience. IFLScience. July 27. https://www.iflscience.com/space/pulsating-white-dwarf-whips-its-companion-star-with-beam-of-particles/.

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. 1999. Year 2000 Computing Challenge: Readiness Improving Yet Essential Actions Remain to Ensure Delivery of Critical Services. T-AIMD-99-268. 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

Jakubowski, J.K. 2013. Making character education a reality: An investigation of secondary teachers’ perspectives toward implementation. 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

Murphy, M.J.O. 2015. Weekend Entertainments From the Archives of The New York Times. New York Times, March 6.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Dickson 2000).
This sentence cites two references (Dickson 2000; Cranch & Foster 2012).

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

Two authors: (Cranch & Foster 2012)
Three or more authors: (Wang et al. 2014)
