How to format your references using the Cell and Tissue Banking citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Cell and Tissue Banking. 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

Ory J (2004) Scientists and societies. Two-body problem. Nature 429:788

A journal article with 2 authors

Dulvy NK, Kindsvater HK (2015) Ecology: Recovering the potential of coral reefs. Nature 520:304–305

A journal article with 3 authors

Kumarevel T, Mizuno H, Kumar PKR (2005) Structural basis of HutP-mediated anti-termination and roles of the Mg2+ ion and L-histidine ligand. Nature 434:183–191

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Braine J, Lisenfeld U, Duc PA, et al (2000) Formation of molecular gas in the tidal debris of violent galaxy-galaxy interactions. Nature 403:867–869

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Florczyk S (2004) Robot Vision. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, FRG

An edited book

Ang MH, Khatib O (eds) (2006) Experimental Robotics IX: The 9th International Symposium on Experimental Robotics. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg

A chapter in an edited 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 Cell and Tissue Banking.

Blog post

Andrews R (2017) Scientists Confirm That The Global Warming “Pause” Never Existed. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/environment/scientists-confirm-global-warming-pause-never-existed/. 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 (1973) Corrections and Pretrial Diversion Projects Funded by Grants From LEAA. 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

Morissette TM (2009) Elder friendliness and social participation of older adults living within age-segregated retirement communities. 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

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Ory 2004).
This sentence cites two references (Ory 2004; Dulvy and Kindsvater 2015).

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

Two authors: (Dulvy and Kindsvater 2015)
Three or more authors: (Braine et al. 2000)
