How to format your references using the Culture and Organization citation style

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

Kivelson, Margaret Galland. 2006. “Does Enceladus Govern Magnetospheric Dynamics at Saturn?” Science (New York, N.Y.) 311 (5766): 1391–1392.

A journal article with 2 authors

Eames, Matt, and Tanja Kortemme. 2012. “Cost-Benefit Tradeoffs in Engineered Lac Operons.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 336 (6083): 911–915.

A journal article with 3 authors

Ben-Yehuda, Sigal, David Z. Rudner, and Richard Losick. 2003. “RacA, a Bacterial Protein That Anchors Chromosomes to the Cell Poles.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 299 (5606): 532–536.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Pallé, E., P. R. Goode, P. Montañés-Rodríguez, and S. E. Koonin. 2004. “Changes in Earth’s Reflectance over the Past Two Decades.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 304 (5675): 1299–1301.

Books and book chapters

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

Blog post

Hale, Tom. 2017. “A Crazy Number Of Kids Are Getting Sick From Drinking Hand Sanitizers.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/a-crazy-number-of-kids-are-getting-sick-from-drinking-hand-sanitizers/.

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. 2001. Aviation Competition: Restricting Airline Ticketing Rules Unlikely to Help Consumers. GAO-01-831. 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

Davis, Patricia J. 2009. “A Comparison of a High and Low -Performing School in the Soroti Catholic Diocese, Uganda, East -Africa.” Doctoral dissertation, Scottsdale, AZ: Northcentral 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

Rojas, Rick. 2015. “Brooklyn Heroin Ring Shut Down, Officials Say; 25 Are Charged.” New York Times, September 18.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Kivelson 2006).
This sentence cites two references (Kivelson 2006; Eames and Kortemme 2012).

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

Two authors: (Eames and Kortemme 2012)
Three authors: (Ben-Yehuda, Rudner, and Losick 2003)
4 or more authors: (Pallé et al. 2004)
