How to format your references using the Emission Control Science and Technology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Emission Control Science and Technology. 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

Wilson, R.C.: The Great Goodbye. Nature. 407, 303 (2000)

A journal article with 2 authors

Saunders, L.R., Verdin, E.: Cell biology. Stress response and aging. Science. 323, 1021–1022 (2009)

A journal article with 3 authors

Jiang, P., Bertone, J.F., Colvin, V.L.: A lost-wax approach to monodisperse colloids and their crystals. Science. 291, 453–457 (2001)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Li, Y.J., Oslonovitch, J., Mazouz, N., Plenge, F., Krischer, K., Ertl, G.: Turing-type patterns on electrode surfaces. Science. 291, 2395–2398 (2001)

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Heller, D.: Hairspray. Wiley-Blackwell, Oxford, UK (2011)

An edited book

Fortis, M.: The Automatic Packaging Machinery Sector in Italy and Germany. Springer International Publishing, Cham (2015)

A chapter in an edited book

Chambolle, A., Morini, M., Ponsiglione, M.: Minimizing movements and level set approaches to nonlocal variational geometric flows. In: Chambolle, A., Novaga, M., and Valdinoci, E. (eds.) Geometric Partial Differential Equations proceedings. pp. 93–104. Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (2013)

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 Emission Control Science and Technology.

Blog post

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: Aviation Noise: A National Policy is Needed. 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

Shah, N.: High Performance Cryptography for Electronic Product Code for Internet of Things Applications, (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

Erlanger, S., Davis, J.H.: Once Dominant, U.S. Is Now Isolated at G-20, (2017)

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].
