How to format your references using the cultural geographies citation style

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

A. Feduccia,

‘Fossils and avian evolution’, Nature, 414, 2001, 507–508.

A journal article with 2 authors

T. Grüter and C.-C. Carbon,

‘Neuroscience. Escaping attention’, Science (New York, N.Y.), 328, 2010, 435–436.

A journal article with 3 authors

T. Adilakshmi, D. L. Bellur and S. A. Woodson,

‘Concurrent nucleation of 16S folding and induced fit in 30S ribosome assembly’, Nature, 455, 2008, 1268–1272.

A journal article with 31 or more authors

D. Waldvogel, P. van Gelderen, W. Muellbacher, U. Ziemann, I. Immisch and M. Hallett,

‘The relative metabolic demand of inhibition and excitation’, Nature, 406, 2000, 995–998.

Books and book chapters

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 cultural geographies.

Blog post

D. Andrew,

How Do You Know You’re Not Living In A Computer Simulation?, IFLScience, 2016. Available at: https://www.iflscience.com/technology/how-do-you-know-youre-not-living-in-a-computer-simulation/. [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,

Supercomputing in Industry (U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC, 1991).

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

P. K. Zurheide,

Hydromorphology of anomalous bright loamy soils on the mid-Atlantic coastal plain (Doctoral dissertation, University of Maryland, College Park, 2009).

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

G. G. Gustines,

‘More Than Just Comic Books, But Plenty of Those, Too’, New York Times, 2011, C32.

In-text citations
