How to format your references using the Computational Intelligence citation style

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

Rutter J. Essay: Amersham Biosciences and Science Prize. PAS domains and metabolic status signaling. Science. 2002;298(5598):1567-1568.

A journal article with 2 authors

Zhang Y, Sontheimer EJ. Structural biology. Cascading into focus. Science. 2014;345(6203):1452-1453.

A journal article with 3 authors

Biswas AK, Atulasimha J, Bandyopadhyay S. An error-resilient non-volatile magneto-elastic universal logic gate with ultralow energy-delay product. Sci Rep. 2014;4:7553.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Bloomfield FH, Oliver MH, Hawkins P, et al. A periconceptional nutritional origin for noninfectious preterm birth. Science. 2003;300(5619):606.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Zhang PG, Chan T. The Chinese Yuan. John Wiley & Sons (Asia) Pte. Ltd.; 2011.

An edited book

Contini F, Lanzara GF, eds. The Circulation of Agency in E-Justice: Interoperability and Infrastructures for European Transborder Judicial Proceedings. Vol 13. Springer Netherlands; 2014.

A chapter in an edited book

Bosco MC, Varesio L. Hypoxia and Gene Expression. In: Melillo G, ed. Hypoxia and Cancer: Biological Implications and Therapeutic Opportunities. Cancer Drug Discovery and Development. Springer; 2014:91-119.

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 Computational Intelligence.

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. Natural Gas Pipelines: Greater Use of Instrumented Inspection Technology Can Improve Safety. U.S. Government Printing Office; 1992.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Kutash M. The Relationship Between Nurses’ Emotional Intelligence and Patient Outcomes. Doctoral dissertation. University of South Florida; 2015.

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

Feeney K. Eating at the Mega-Market. New York Times. March 1, 2009:NJ10.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

This sentence cites one reference ¹.
This sentence cites two references ^1,2.
This sentence cites four references ^1–4.
