How to format your references using the Aphasiology citation style

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

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Lok, C. (2001). Plans to reduce acceptable arsenic limit put on hold. Nature, 410(6828), 503.
A journal article with 2 authors
Stephens, D. J., & Allan, V. J. (2003). Light microscopy techniques for live cell imaging. Science (New York, N.Y.), 300(5616), 82–86.
A journal article with 3 authors
Koren, I., Dagan, G., & Altaratz, O. (2014). From aerosol-limited to invigoration of warm convective clouds. Science (New York, N.Y.), 344(6188), 1143–1146.
A journal article with 8 or more authors
Dello Ioio, R., Nakamura, K., Moubayidin, L., Perilli, S., Taniguchi, M., Morita, M. T., Aoyama, T., Costantino, P., & Sabatini, S. (2008). A genetic framework for the control of cell division and differentiation in the root meristem. Science (New York, N.Y.), 322(5906), 1380–1384.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

An edited book

A chapter in an edited book

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 Aphasiology.

Blog post
Davis, J. (2015, June 10). Tracking Tiger Sharks Reveals Bird-Like Migration. IFLScience; IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/tracking-tiger-sharks-reveals-bird-migration/

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. (2010). Polar-Orbiting Environmental Satellites: Agencies Must Act Quickly to Address Risks That Jeopardize the Continuity of Weather and Climate Data (GAO-10-558). 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
Darnell, C. (2017). Sharecropping in Higher Education: Case Study of the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University - Florida State University Joint College of Engineering [Doctoral dissertation]. Indiana 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
Crow, K. (2002, November 10). With Affluence All Around, A Little Crime Seems a Lot. New York Times, 146.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lok, 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Lok, 2001; Stephens & Allan, 2003).

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

  • Two authors: (Stephens & Allan, 2003)
  • Three authors: (Koren et al., 2014)
  • 6 or more authors: (Dello Ioio et al., 2008)
