How to format your references using the Arnold Mathematical Journal citation style

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

Livio, M.: Lab life: don’t bristle at blunders. Nature. 497, 309–310 (2013)

A journal article with 2 authors

Johnson, K.R., Ellis, B.: A tropical rainforest in Colorado 1.4 million years after the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. Science. 296, 2379–2383 (2002)

A journal article with 3 authors

Tuch, B.B., Li, H., Johnson, A.D.: Evolution of eukaryotic transcription circuits. Science. 319, 1797–1799 (2008)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Tian, J., Gong, H., Sheng, N., Zhou, X., Gulari, E., Gao, X., Church, G.: Accurate multiplex gene synthesis from programmable DNA microchips. Nature. 432, 1050–1054 (2004)

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: Gulf War Illnesses: Federal Research Strategy Needs Reexamination. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1998)

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Jaffer, S.: Harnessing innovation in the 21st century: the impact of leadership styles, (2013)

News paper articles

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

Two authors: (Johnson and Ellis 2002)
Three or more authors: (Tian et al. 2004)
