How to format your references using the Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy. 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

Schmidt C (2015) Immunology: Another shot at cancer. Nature 527:S105-7

A journal article with 2 authors

Beroza GC, Ide S (2009) Geophysics. Deep tremors and slow quakes. Science 324:1025–1026

A journal article with 3 authors

Hanna RA, Campbell RL, Davies PL (2008) Calcium-bound structure of calpain and its mechanism of inhibition by calpastatin. Nature 456:409–412

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Aono N, Sutani T, Tomonaga T, et al (2002) Cnd2 has dual roles in mitotic condensation and interphase. Nature 417:197–202

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Svensson H (2012) Cable-Stayed Bridges. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany

An edited book

Whitacre DM (ed) (2014) Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology volume: With Cumulative and Comprehensive Index Subjects Covered Volumes 221-230. Springer International Publishing, Cham

A chapter in an edited book

Breedveld P (2009) Port-based modelling of multidomain physical systems in terms of bond graphs. In: Arnold M, Schiehlen W (eds) Simulation Techniques for Applied Dynamics. Springer, Vienna, pp 141–190

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 Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy.

Blog post

Carpineti A (2016) Simulation Gives New Look Into Early Universe. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/space/numerical-simulation-gives-new-look-early-universe/. 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 (1972) Whole-Body Irradiation Program at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and DOD’s Policy on the Use of Human Subjects for Medical Research. 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

Paustian ME (2010) Evaluating competition between the non-native slug Arion subfuscus and the native slug Philomycus carolinianus. 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

Gustines GG (2017) A Super Mission: Crashing the Closet. New York Times AR17

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Schmidt 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Beroza and Ide 2009; Schmidt 2015).

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

Two authors: (Beroza and Ide 2009)
Three or more authors: (Aono et al. 2002)
