How to format your references using the Econometrics citation style

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

Triplett, B. Astronomers Fume over Night Light. Nature 2000, 405, 987–988.

A journal article with 2 authors

Li, L.; Clevers, H. Coexistence of Quiescent and Active Adult Stem Cells in Mammals. Science 2010, 327, 542–545.

A journal article with 3 authors

Feng, Y.; Zhang, S.; Huang, X. A Robust TALENs System for Highly Efficient Mammalian Genome Editing. Sci. Rep. 2014, 4, 3632.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Huang, A.L.; Chen, X.; Hoon, M.A.; Chandrashekar, J.; Guo, W.; Tränkner, D.; Ryba, N.J.P.; Zuker, C.S. The Cells and Logic for Mammalian Sour Taste Detection. Nature 2006, 442, 934–938.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Deuff, D.; Cosquer, M. User-Centered Agile Method; John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: Hoboken, NJ USA, 2013; ISBN 9781118574829.

An edited book

Structural Health Monitoring, Damage Detection & Mechatronics, Volume 7: Proceedings of the 34th IMAC, A Conference and Exposition on Structural Dynamics 2016; Wicks, A., Niezrecki, C., Eds.; Conference Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Mechanics Series; Springer International Publishing: Cham, 2016; ISBN 9783319299556.

A chapter in an edited book

Ghosh, A.; Pal, M.; Bhadra, P.; Sarcar, P. Design of Dielectric Resonator Antenna with Different Dielectric Constants. In Computational Advancement in Communication Circuits and Systems: Proceedings of ICCACCS 2014; Maharatna, K., Dalapati, G.K., Banerjee, P.K., Mallick, A.K., Mukherjee, M., Eds.; Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering; Springer India: New Delhi, 2015; pp. 39–45 ISBN 9788132222736.

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 Econometrics.

Blog post

Hale, T. This Creepy Mask Is The Oldest Copper Object Crafted In South America Available online: https://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/this-creepy-mask-is-the-oldest-copper-object-crafted-in-south-america/ (accessed on 30 October 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 UMTA Project Oversight and Mass Transit Issues; U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC, 1990;

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Kopaygorodsky, E. Mathematical Model of Ultra-Rapid PSA. Doctoral dissertation, University of Cincinnati: Cincinnati, OH, 2001.

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

Kelly, D. STEAL THIS REVIEW. New York Times 1990, 719.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1,2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
