How to format your references using the EJNMMI Physics citation style

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

1. Berthoud H-R. Medicine. Why does gastric bypass surgery work? Science. 2013;341:351–2.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Joseph SB, Swanstrom R. HIV/AIDS. A fitness bottleneck in HIV-1 transmission. Science. 2014;345:136–7.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Overby CL, Hripcsak G, Shen Y. Estimating heritability of drug-induced liver injury from common variants and implications for future study designs. Sci Rep. 2014;4:5762.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Lee DJ, Brenner H, Youn JR, Song YS. Multiplex particle focusing via hydrodynamic force in viscoelastic fluids. Sci Rep. 2013;3:3258.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1. Tissue BM. Basics of Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Equilibria. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2013.

An edited book

1. Li H, editor. Radiology of Infectious Diseases: Volume 2. 1st ed. 2015. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands; 2015.

A chapter in an edited book

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 EJNMMI Physics.

Blog post

1. Andrew E. X-ray Video Gives Inside 3D Look at Insect Flying Muscles [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2014 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/x-ray-video-gives-inside-3d-look-insect-flying-muscles/

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

1. Government Accountability Office. Student Athletes: Information on Their Academic Performance. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1989 May. Report No.: HRD-89-107FS.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

1. Thiagarajan TT. A Simple and Effective Peak-To-Average Power Ratio Reduction Approach Based on Iterative Companding Transform and Filtering Framework of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Signal [Doctoral dissertation]. [Long Beach, CA]: California State University, Long Beach; 2017.

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

1. Wines M. Justices Face Wisconsin Case That Could Redraw Partisan Political Maps. New York Times. 2017 Oct 1;A16.

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].
