How to format your references using the Cybium citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Cybium. 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	Find the style here: output styles overview
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

KRESS, M., 2012. - Modeling armed conflicts. Science, 336: 865–869.

A journal article with 2 authors

HSIEH-WILSON, L.C. & GRIFFIN, M.E., 2013. - Chemistry. Improving biologic drugs via total chemical synthesis. Science, 342: 1332–1333.

A journal article with 3 authors

KIELPINSKI, D., MONROE, C., & WINELAND, D.J., 2002. - Architecture for a large-scale ion-trap quantum computer. Nature, 417: 709–711.

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 Cybium.

Blog post

FANG, J., 2014. - Heart-Regenerating Cells Found in Coronary Arteries [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/heart-regenerating-cells-found-coronary-arteries/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

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

MACFARQUHAR, N. & KRAMER, A.E., 2015. - Putin Sees Path to Diplomacy Through Syria. New York Times, A1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Kress, 2012).
This sentence cites two references (Kress, 2012; Hsieh-Wilson and Griffin, 2013).

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

Two authors: (Hsieh-Wilson and Griffin, 2013)
Three or more authors: (Yabuki et al., 2014)
