How to format your references using the Atomization and Sprays citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Atomization and Sprays (AAS). 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.

Smaglik, P., Chemistry’s Clouded View, Nature, vol. 421, no. 6920, p. 295, January 16, 2003.

Blog post

Carpineti, A., Rocky Planets Can Form In Binary Systems, IFLScience, February 27, 2017.

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, Internet Infrastructure: Challenges in Developing a Public/Private Recovery Plan, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, GAO-06-1100T, Sep. 13, 2006.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Sitterding, M. C., Situation Awareness and the Selection of Interruption Handling Strategies during the Medication Administration Process: A Qualitative Study, Doctoral dissertation, Indiana University, 2014.

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

McKINLEY, J. C., Jr, A Murder Trial in Which the Gunman Is Unknown, New York Times, May 11, 2017.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Smaglik, 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Smaglik, 2003; Purves et al., 2008).

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

Two authors: (Purves et al., 2008)
Three or more authors: (Qin et al., 2000)
