How to format your references using the Artificial Intelligence Review citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Artificial Intelligence Review. 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.
EndNoteFind the style here: output styles overview
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
Adams JU (2015) Genetics: Big hopes for big data. Nature 527:S108-9
A journal article with 2 authors
Kincaid C, Griffiths RW (2003) Laboratory models of the thermal evolution of the mantle during rollback subduction. Nature 425:58–62
A journal article with 3 authors
Ammon CJ, Kanamori H, Lay T (2008) A great earthquake doublet and seismic stress transfer cycle in the central Kuril islands. Nature 451:561–565
A journal article with 5 or more authors

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book
Shapiro IM (2016) Energy Audits and Improvements for Commercial Buildings. John Wiley & Sons, Inc, Hoboken, NJ
An edited book
Cohen LE (ed) (2016) Growth Hormone Deficiency: Physiology and Clinical Management. Springer International Publishing, Cham
A chapter in an edited book
Rocchi P (2010) Intelligent Adaptation and the Nature of Software Changes. In: Wang Y, Zhang D, Kinsner W (eds) Advances in Cognitive Informatics and Cognitive Computing. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, pp 59–69

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 Artificial Intelligence Review.

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 (1991) Aerospace Plane Technology: Research and Development Efforts in Japan and Australia. 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
Steers AV (2010) Releasing from the inside out: The development of the role of Helene in “Festen.” Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach

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
Gelles D, de la MERCED MJ (2017) Torch Passes At Carlyle As a Titan Steps Aside. New York Times B1

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Adams 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Kincaid and Griffiths 2003; Adams 2015).

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

  • Two authors: (Kincaid and Griffiths 2003)
  • Three or more authors: (Ochsenbein et al. 2001)
