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 reference managers.

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

Moskvitch, K.: Astronomy: To catch a cosmic ray. Nature. 514, 20–22 (2014)

A journal article with 2 authors

Thiele, A., Stoner, G.: Neuronal synchrony does not correlate with motion coherence in cortical area MT. Nature. 421, 366–370 (2003)

A journal article with 3 authors

Shankar, N., Baghdayan, A.S., Gilmore, M.S.: Modulation of virulence within a pathogenicity island in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis. Nature. 417, 746–750 (2002)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

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: U.S. Citizens Studying Medicine Abroad. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1985)

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Santella Steen, S.: The Potential of Television Programming as a Resource to Facilitate Academic Progress for Students who have a Specific Learning Disability in Reading, (2017)

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

Burghardt, L.F.: For Sabbath on Saturdays, Fewer Open Shops, (2008)

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Moskvitch 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Moskvitch 2014; Thiele and Stoner 2003).

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

Two authors: (Thiele and Stoner 2003)
Three or more authors: (Latta et al. 2011)
