This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Emotion, Space and Society. For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Maxmen, A., 2011. Pharmacogenomics: playing the odds. Nature 474, S9-10.
A journal article with 2 authors
Casals, F., Bertranpetit, J., 2012. Genetics. Human genetic variation, shared and private. Science 337, 39–40.
A journal article with 3 authors
Maier, T., Jenni, S., Ban, N., 2006. Architecture of mammalian fatty acid synthase at 4.5 A resolution. Science 311, 1258–1262.
A journal article with 4 or more authors
Angers, R.C., Kang, H.-E., Napier, D., Browning, S., Seward, T., Mathiason, C., Balachandran, A., McKenzie, D., Castilla, J., Soto, C., Jewell, J., Graham, C., Hoover, E.A., Telling, G.C., 2010.

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.
