How to format your references using the Audiology and Neurotology citation style

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

Hayashi S: Biophysics. Silencing neurons with light. Science 2014;344:369–370.

A journal article with 2 authors

Zhang S, Bryant DA: The tricarboxylic acid cycle in cyanobacteria. Science 2011;334:1551–1553.

A journal article with 3 authors

Larsen RE, Glover WJ, Schwartz BJ: Does the hydrated electron occupy a cavity? Science 2010;329:65–69.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Stokroos I, Litinetsky L, van der Want JJ, Ishay JS: Magnetic minerals. Keystone-like crystals in cells of hornet combs. Nature 2001;411:654.

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".
