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

Pennisi, Elizabeth. 2015. “Biomaterials. Crystalline Eyes of Chitons Inspire Materials Scientists.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 350 (6263): 899.

A journal article with 2 authors

Wiseman, Bryony S., and Zena Werb. 2002. “Stromal Effects on Mammary Gland Development and Breast Cancer.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 296 (5570): 1046–1049.

A journal article with 3 authors

Ferguson, N. M., C. A. Donnelly, and R. M. Anderson. 2001. “The Foot-and-Mouth Epidemic in Great Britain: Pattern of Spread and Impact of Interventions.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 292 (5519): 1155–1160.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as 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 Culture and Organization.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2015. “Beyond Pluto: New Horizons’ Mission Is Not Over Yet.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/space/beyond-pluto-new-horizons-mission-not-over-yet/.

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. 1994. Voice of America: Station Modernization Projects Need to Be Justified. NSIAD-94-69. 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

Riley, Jenny Marie. 2017. “Was Sloth the Ultimate Slow Food? An Archaeological Examination of Padre Nuestro Cavern, Dominican Republic.” Doctoral dissertation, Bloomington, IN: Indiana 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

Belson, Ken, John Eligon, and Jennifer Medina. 2017. “Warm Welcome for Guests, and No Questions Asked About Their Bags.” New York Times, October 4.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Pennisi 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Pennisi 2015; Wiseman and Werb 2002).

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

Two authors: (Wiseman and Werb 2002)
Three authors: (Ferguson, Donnelly, and Anderson 2001)
4 or more authors: (Liu et al. 2000)
