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

Bowerman, Bruce. 2008. “Cell Signaling. Wnt Moves beyond the Canon.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 320 (5874): 327–328.

A journal article with 2 authors

Haushofer, Johannes, and Ernst Fehr. 2014. “On the Psychology of Poverty.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 344 (6186): 862–867.

A journal article with 3 authors

Tobler, Philippe N., Christopher D. Fiorillo, and Wolfram Schultz. 2005. “Adaptive Coding of Reward Value by Dopamine Neurons.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 307 (5715): 1642–1645.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Tochio, H., M. M. Tsui, D. K. Banfield, and M. Zhang. 2001. “An Autoinhibitory Mechanism for Nonsyntaxin SNARE Proteins Revealed by the Structure of Ykt6p.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 293 (5530): 698–702.

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

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2014. “10 Science Jokes for Nerds.” IFLScience. IFLScience.

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. 2000. U.S. Customs Service: Better Targeting of Airline Passengers for Personal Searches Could Produce Better Results. GGD-00-38. 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

Hayes, Unique Tiahara. 2014. “Mental Health Services for Foster Youth: A Grant Proposal.” Doctoral dissertation, Long Beach, CA: California State University, Long Beach.

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

Wagner, James. 2017. “Encouraging Signs for the Ailing Mets.” New York Times, April 29.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Bowerman 2008).
This sentence cites two references (Bowerman 2008; Haushofer and Fehr 2014).

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

Two authors: (Haushofer and Fehr 2014)
Three authors: (Tobler, Fiorillo, and Schultz 2005)
4 or more authors: (Tochio et al. 2001)
