How to format your references using the Environmental Engineering Science citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Environmental Engineering Science (EES). 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

Nürnberg D. PALEOCLIMATE: Taking the Temperature of Past Ocean Surfaces. Science 2000;289(5485):1698–1699.

A journal article with 2 authors

Bouibes A and Zaoui A. High-Pressure Polymorphs of ZnCO₃: Evolutionary Crystal Structure Prediction. Sci Rep 2014;4:5172.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kinoshita T, Wenger T and Weiss DS. A Quantum Newton’s Cradle. Nature 2006;440(7086):900–903.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Li Y, Wang M, Wang H, et al. Accurate in Silico Identification of Species-Specific Acetylation Sites by Integrating Protein Sequence-Derived and Functional Features. Sci Rep 2014;4:5765.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Kowalick TM. Fatal Exit. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.: Hoboken, NJ; 2004.

An edited book

Dobe M and Zernikow B, (eds). Practical Treatment Options for Chronic Pain in Children and Adolescents: An Interdisciplinary Therapy Manual. Springer: Berlin, Heidelberg; 2013.

A chapter in an edited book

Canard S, Gouget A and Hufschmitt E. A Handy Multi-Coupon System. In: Applied Cryptography and Network Security: 4th International Conference, ACNS 2006, Singapore, June 6-9, 2006. Proceedings. (Zhou J, Yung M, and Bao F. eds). Lecture Notes in Computer Science Springer: Berlin, Heidelberg; 2006; pp. 66–81.

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 Environmental Engineering Science.

Blog post

Andrew D. Would Gender Differences Exist If We Treated All People The Same From Birth? IFLScience; 2016. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/would-gender-differences-exist-if-we-treated-all-people-the-same-from-birth/ [Last accessed: 10/30/2018].

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. Women in STEM Research: Federal Agencies Differ in the Data They Collect on Grant Applicants. U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC; 2015.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

He H. Numerical Simulations of Unsteady Flows in a Pulse Detonation Engine by the Space-Time Conservation Element and Solution Element Method. Doctoral dissertation. Ohio State University: Columbus, OH; 2006.

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

Crow K. Cheers for the Resurrection Of a Much-Loved Grocery. New York Times 2001;146.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Nürnberg, 2000).
This sentence cites two references (Bouibes and Zaoui, 2014; Nürnberg, 2000).

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

Two authors: (Bouibes and Zaoui, 2014)
Three or more authors: (Li et al., 2014)
