How to format your references using the Chemosensory Perception citation style

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

Chakravarty S (2008) Physics. From complexity to simplicity. Science 319:735–736

A journal article with 2 authors

Korf H-W, Wicht H (2004) The public cadaver. Nature 428:805

A journal article with 3 authors

Francis NJ, Kingston RE, Woodcock CL (2004) Chromatin compaction by a polycomb group protein complex. Science 306:1574–1577

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Schwoerer H, Pfotenhauer S, Jäckel O, et al (2006) Laser-plasma acceleration of quasi-monoenergetic protons from microstructured targets. Nature 439:445–448

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Bunnell T (2016) From World City to the World in One City. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK

An edited book

Lokuciejewski P (2011) Worst-Case Execution Time Aware Compilation Techniques for Real-Time Systems. Springer Netherlands, Dordrecht

A chapter in an edited book

Harper AGS, Sage SO (2016) TRP-Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Coupling. In: Rosado JA (ed) Calcium Entry Pathways in Non-excitable Cells. Springer International Publishing, Cham, pp 67–85

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 Chemosensory Perception.

Blog post

Andrew E (2015) Iconic Boab Trees Trace Journeys Of Ancient Aboriginal People. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/iconic-boab-trees-trace-journeys-ancient-aboriginal-people/. 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 (2009) Survey of Metropolitan Planning Organizations (GAO-09-867SP, September 2009), an E-supplement to GAO-09-868. 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

Golf F (2012) Search for New Physics in a Final State with Same-Sign Dileptons, Jets, and Missing Transverse Energy at 7 TeV Center of Mass Energy. Doctoral dissertation, University of California San Diego

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

Slotnik DE (2017) Bobby Taylor, Who Encouraged Jackson 5. New York Times B11

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Chakravarty 2008).
This sentence cites two references (Korf and Wicht 2004; Chakravarty 2008).

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

Two authors: (Korf and Wicht 2004)
Three or more authors: (Schwoerer et al. 2006)
