How to format your references using the Climate Change Economics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Climate Change Economics (CCE). 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

Bell, JI (2003). The double helix in clinical practice. Nature, 421(6921), 414–416.

A journal article with 2 authors

Rohrer, F, and H Berresheim (2006). Strong correlation between levels of tropospheric hydroxyl radicals and solar ultraviolet radiation. Nature, 442(7099), 184–187.

A journal article with 3 authors

Bell, E, L Rowen, and L Hood (2000). Publication rights for sequence data producers. Science (New York, N.Y.), 290(5497), 1696b–8b.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Xu, J, MK Bjursell, J Himrod, S Deng, LK Carmichael, HC Chiang, LV Hooper, and JI Gordon (2003). A genomic view of the human-Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron symbiosis. Science (New York, N.Y.), 299(5615), 2074–2076.

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 (2004). Department of Housing and Urban Development: Lack of Accountability for Computer Equipment Leaves These Assets Vulnerable to Loss or Misappropriation No. GAO-04-520R 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

New York Times article

Kishkovsky, S (2011). Disputed Voting Turns Church, A Kremlin Ally, Into Its Critic. New York Times, A4.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Bell, 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Bell, 2003; Rohrer and Berresheim, 2006).

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

Two authors: (Rohrer and Berresheim, 2006)
Three or more authors: (Xu et al., 2003)
