How to format your references using the Applied Intelligence citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Applied Intelligence. 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	Find the style here: output styles overview
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

Stevens MJ (2014) Materials science. How shape affects microtubule and nanoparticle assembly. Science 343:981–982

A journal article with 2 authors

Weiss R, Bourgeois J (2012) Geology. Understanding sediments--reducing tsunami risk. Science 336:1117–1118

A journal article with 3 authors

Holmberg VC, Panthani MG, Korgel BA (2009) Phase transitions, melting dynamics, and solid-state diffusion in a nano test tube. Science 326:405–407

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Körner C, Asshoff R, Bignucolo O, et al (2005) Carbon flux and growth in mature deciduous forest trees exposed to elevated CO2. Science 309:1360–1362

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Quinn JF (2013) Dementia. John Wiley & Sons Ltd, Oxford

An edited book

Brito P (2008) COMPSTAT 2008: Proceedings in Computational Statistics. Physica-Verlag HD, Heidelberg

A chapter in an edited book

Rodrigues ER, Achcar JA (2013) Some Counting Processes and Ozone Air Pollution. In: Achcar JA (ed) Applications of Discrete-time Markov Chains and Poisson Processes to Air Pollution Modeling and Studies. Springer, New York, NY, pp 79–89

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 Applied Intelligence.

Blog post

Hamilton K (2015) The 8 Books Neil deGrasse Tyson Thinks Every Person Should Read. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/book-recommendations-renowned-scientists/. Accessed 30 Oct 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 (2001) Space Shuttle Safety: Update on NASA’s Progress in Revitalizing the Shuttle Workforce and Making Safety Upgrades. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Wu D-MC (2010) Function and regulation of Drosophila myc during wing growth. Doctoral dissertation, Columbia 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

Chira S (2017) Cosby as a Lens on the Gender Beat. New York Times A2

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1, 2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
