How to format your references using the Chemical Senses citation style

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

Knight, J. 2003. Tomorrow’s world. Nature. 426:709–711.

A journal article with 2 authors

Arlot-Bonnemains, Y., and Prigent, C. 2002. Cell cycle. A trigger for centrosome duplication. Science. 295:455–456.

A journal article with 3 authors

Li, Y., Zhang, X., and Cao, D. 2013. The role of shape complementarity in the protein-protein interactions. Sci Rep. 3:3271.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Goes, J.I., Thoppil, P.G., Gomes, H. do R., and Fasullo, J.T. 2005. Warming of the Eurasian landmass is making the Arabian Sea more productive. Science. 308:545–547.

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 Chemical Senses.

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. 1988. ADP Modernization: IRS’ Tax System Redesign Progress and Plans for the Future. 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

Frederique, N.P. 2010. The effectiveness of school based intensive probation for reducing recidivism: An evaluation of Maryland’s Spotlight on Schools program. Doctoral dissertation. University of Maryland, College Park.

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

Chapman, M.M., and Maynard, M. 2010. Thousands Line Up at Ballpark For Farewell to Voice of Tigers. 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 (Knight, 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Arlot-Bonnemains and Prigent, 2002; Knight, 2003).

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

Two authors: (Arlot-Bonnemains and Prigent, 2002)
Three or more authors: (Goes et al., 2005)
