How to format your references using the Environmental Entomology citation style

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

Kulacki, G. 2011. US and China need contact, not cold war. Nature. 474: 444–445.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ewing, R. C., and F. N. von Hippel. 2009. Energy. Nuclear waste management in the United States--starting over. Science. 325: 151–152.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kahn, S. E., R. L. Hull, and K. M. Utzschneider. 2006. Mechanisms linking obesity to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Nature. 444: 840–846.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Sometimes references to web sites should appear directly in the text rather than in the bibliography. Refer to the Instructions to authors for Environmental Entomology.

Blog post

Andrew, E. 2015. Robot Learns To Cook Watching YouTube Videos. IFLScience. (https://www.iflscience.com/technology/robot-learns-cook-watching-youtube-videos/).

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. 2016. James Webb Space Telescope: Project Meeting Cost and Schedule Commitments but Continues to Use Reserves to Address Challenges ( No. GAO-17-71). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Spralja, K. P. 2014. The intersections of culture and business: An ethnographic study of multicultural second generation young entrepreneurs (Doctoral dissertation).

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

Chavers, L., and A. Zissu. 2005. THE ORIGINALS. New York Times. 6136.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Kulacki 2011).
This sentence cites two references (Ewing and von Hippel 2009, Kulacki 2011).

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

Two authors: (Ewing and von Hippel 2009)
Three or more authors: (Hart et al. 2007)
