BibTeXBibTeX 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. Breaking the bottleneck. Nature 434, 1047.
A journal article with 2 authors
Pera, M.F., Tam, P.P.L., 2010. Extrinsic regulation of pluripotent stem cells. Nature 465, 713–720.
A journal article with 3 authors
Quax, R., Kandhai, D., Sloot, P.M.A., 2013. Information dissipation as an early-warning signal for the Lehman Brothers collapse in financial time series. Sci. Rep. 3, 1898.
A journal article with 4 or more authors
Shibuya, A., Itoh, T., Tukey, R.H., Fujiwara, R., 2013. Impact of fatty acids on human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 activity and its expression in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Sci. Rep. 3, 2903.

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 Cerevisia.

Blog post
Andrew, E., 2015. How To Milk A Deadly Box Jellyfish [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/how-milk-deadly-box-jellyfish/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1991. Weather Satellites: Action Needed to Resolve Status of the U.S. Geostationary Satellite Program (No. NSIAD-91-252). 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
Tsang, S.D., 2012. The depth range of azimuthal anisotropy beneath Southern California via analyses of long-period Rayleigh-waves (Doctoral dissertation). California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA.

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
Pilon, M., 2013. Races End Fees to Top Runners, Drawing Outcry. New York Times B12.

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 (Pera and Tam, 2010; Smaglik, 2005).

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

  • Two authors: (Pera and Tam, 2010)
  • Three or more authors: (Shibuya et al., 2013)
