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

Mustelin T (2006) Immunology. Restless T cells sniff and go. Science 313:1902–1903

A journal article with 2 authors

Higgins MJ, Graham SJH (2009) Intellectual property. Balancing innovation and access: patent challenges tip the scales. Science 326:370–371

A journal article with 3 authors

Reinisch KM, Nibert ML, Harrison SC (2000) Structure of the reovirus core at 3.6 A resolution. Nature 404:960–967

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Blilou I, Xu J, Wildwater M, et al (2005) The PIN auxin efflux facilitator network controls growth and patterning in Arabidopsis roots. Nature 433:39–44

Books and book chapters

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

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 Chemosensory Perception.

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 (1985) Performance Appraisal Information From Selected Federal Agencies. 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

Cope JA (2015) Coastal squeeze of vegetation zones in the Los Cerritos Wetlands: The effect of sea level rise. 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

Kenigsberg B (2017) Past Life. New York Times C7

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Mustelin 2006).
This sentence cites two references (Mustelin 2006; Higgins and Graham 2009).

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

Two authors: (Higgins and Graham 2009)
Three or more authors: (Blilou et al. 2005)
