How to format your references using the Citizenship Studies citation style

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

Stern, Peter. 2009. “Neuroscience Methods. So You Want to Learn How to Network? Introduction.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 326 (5951): 385.

A journal article with 2 authors

Oncescu, Vlad, and David Erickson. 2013. “High Volumetric Power Density, Non-Enzymatic, Glucose Fuel Cells.” Scientific Reports 3 (February): 1226.

A journal article with 3 authors

Feng, Yuanxi, Siliang Zhang, and Xin Huang. 2014. “A Robust TALENs System for Highly Efficient Mammalian Genome Editing.” Scientific Reports 4 (January): 3632.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Narita, Masako, Andrew R. J. Young, Satoko Arakawa, Shamith A. Samarajiwa, Takayuki Nakashima, Sei Yoshida, Sungki Hong, et al. 2011. “Spatial Coupling of MTOR and Autophagy Augments Secretory Phenotypes.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 332 (6032): 966–970.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored 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 Citizenship Studies.

Blog post

Luntz, Stephen. 2016. “How Our Ancestors First Used Fire To Shape Tools 70,000 Years Ago.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/technology/how-our-ancestors-first-used-fire-to-shape-tools-70000-years-ago/.

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. 2013. Broadcasting Board of Governors: Additional Steps Needed to Address Overlap in International Broadcasting. GAO-13-172. 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

Tsai, Hsin-Yue. 2006. “Elucidating the Role of Protein Cofactors in RNA Catalysis Using Ribonuclease P as the Model System.” Doctoral dissertation, Columbus, OH: Ohio State University.

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

Walsh, Mary Williams, and Michael Cooper. 2011. “Faltering City Testing Its Vow To Pensioners.” New York Times, August 13.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Stern 2009).
This sentence cites two references (Stern 2009; Oncescu and Erickson 2013).

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

Two authors: (Oncescu and Erickson 2013)
Three authors: (Feng, Zhang, and Huang 2014)
4 or more authors: (Narita et al. 2011)
