How to format your references using the Environmental Hazards citation style

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

Sarewitz, D. (2010). Better all the time. Nature, 463(7281), 607.

A journal article with 2 authors

Liu, T. L., & Kim, C.-J. C. J. (2014). Repellent surfaces. Turning a surface superrepellent even to completely wetting liquids. Science (New York, N.Y.), 346(6213), 1096–1100.

A journal article with 3 authors

Jarillo-Herrero, P., van Dam, J. A., & Kouwenhoven, L. P. (2006). Quantum supercurrent transistors in carbon nanotubes. Nature, 439(7079), 953–956.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Wang, Y., Ma, J., Wang, J., Yuan, P., Xie, G., Ge, X., Liu, F., Yuan, X., Zhu, H., & Qian, L. (2014). Single-shot measurement of >10¹⁰ pulse contrast for ultra-high peak-power lasers. Scientific Reports, 4, 3818.

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 Hazards.

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. (1990). Supplemental Student Loans: Who Are the Largest Lenders? (HRD-90-72FS). U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Cacciola, J. A. (2010). A quantitative study on retaining leadership talent within a naval aviation squadron [Doctoral dissertation]. University of Phoenix.

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

Cooper, M. (2017, May 4). Dudamel Condemns Venezuelan Politics. New York Times, C2.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Sarewitz, 2010).
This sentence cites two references (Liu & Kim, 2014; Sarewitz, 2010).

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

Two authors: (Liu & Kim, 2014)
Three authors: (Jarillo-Herrero et al., 2006)
6 or more authors: (Wang et al., 2014)
