How to format your references using the Augmented Human Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Augmented Human Research. 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

Palme H (2002) Planetary science. A new solar system basalt. Science 296:271–273

A journal article with 2 authors

Merritt DJ, Dixon KW (2011) Conservation. Restoration seed banks--a matter of scale. Science 332:424–425

A journal article with 3 authors

Lee H, Habas R, Abate-Shen C (2004) MSX1 cooperates with histone H1b for inhibition of transcription and myogenesis. Science 304:1675–1678

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Reinhart BJ, Slack FJ, Basson M, et al (2000) The 21-nucleotide let-7 RNA regulates developmental timing in Caenorhabditis elegans. Nature 403:901–906

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 Augmented Human Research.

Blog post

Andrew E (2015) Never Mind The Selfish Gene – Ribosomes Are The Missing Link. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/never-mind-selfish-gene-ribosomes-are-missing-link/. Accessed 30 Oct 2018

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 (1979) Student Eligibility and Other Problems in Federally Funded and Operated Schools in Puerto Rico. 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

Lorentz J (2009) The effect of requirements prioritization on avionics system conceptual design. Doctoral dissertation, George Washington University

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

Van Gelder SKC by L (2005) Arts, Briefly; “Vagina Monologues” in Moscow. New York Times B10

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].

This sentence cites four references [1–4].
