How to format your references using the Archaeometry citation style

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

Zatorre, R. J., 2013, Predispositions and plasticity in music and speech learning: neural correlates and implications, Science (New York, N.Y.), 342(6158), 585–9.

A journal article with 2 authors

Snook, R. R., and Hosken, D. J., 2004, Sperm death and dumping in Drosophila, Nature, 428(6986), 939–41.

A journal article with 3 authors

Cossart, R., Aronov, D., and Yuste, R., 2003, Attractor dynamics of network UP states in the neocortex, Nature, 423(6937), 283–8.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Albarede, F., Blichert-Toft, J., Vervoort, J. D., Gleason, J. D., and Rosing, M., 2000, Hf-Nd isotope evidence for a transient dynamic regime in the early terrestrial mantle, Nature, 404(6777), 488–90.

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 Archaeometry.

Blog post

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, 1982, Improper Use of Federal Student Aid Funds for Lobbying Activities, 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

Westgate, M., 2009, La Boutique Fantasque: A full score edition for wind band, Doctoral dissertation, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH.

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

Gorman, J., 2016, With Lasers in the Flight Plan, Goggles Are Vital, New York Times, December 21, D2.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Zatorre 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Snook and Hosken 2004; Zatorre 2013).

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

Two authors: (Snook and Hosken 2004)
Three or more authors: (Albarede et al. 2000)
