How to format your references using the Bioarchaeology of the Near East citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Bioarchaeology of the Near East (BNE). 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

Smaglik P. (2005), Job movements, Nature 433(7028):901.

A journal article with 2 authors

Gurnett D.A., Kurth W.S. (2005), Electron plasma oscillations upstream of the solar wind termination shock, Science (New York, N.Y.) 309(5743):2025–2027.

A journal article with 3 authors

Rankenburg K., Brandon A.D., Neal C.R. (2006), Neodymium isotope evidence for a chondritic composition of the Moon, Science (New York, N.Y.) 312(5778):1369–1372.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Boulton S.J., Gartner A., Reboul J., Vaglio P., Dyson N., Hill D.E., Vidal M. (2002), Combined functional genomic maps of the C. elegans DNA damage response, Science (New York, N.Y.) 295(5552):127–131.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

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 Bioarchaeology of the Near East.

Blog post

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 (2005), Computer-Based Patient Records: VA and DOD Made Progress, but Much Work Remains to Fully Share Medical Information, No. GAO-05-1051T, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Cook M.M. (2017), An Examination of the Proportion of Special Education Students in Single-Parent Homes in Comparison to Regular Education Students in Similar Households, Doctoral dissertation, Lindenwood University, St. Charles, MO.

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

Kelly C. (2014, January 12), ‘A Coarse Pleasure’ In Stories of Impostors, New York Times, p. A25B.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Smaglik 2005).
This sentence cites two references (Gurnett & Kurth 2005; Smaglik 2005).

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

Two authors: (Gurnett & Kurth 2005)
Three authors: (Rankenburg, Brandon, & Neal 2006)
6 or more authors: (Boulton et al. 2002)
