How to format your references using the Environmental Management citation style

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

Bohannon J (2007) Happy 300th Birthday, Linnaeus. Science 318:752

A journal article with 2 authors

Kondo T, Hayashi S (2013) Mitotic cell rounding accelerates epithelial invagination. Nature 494:125–129

A journal article with 3 authors

Abelson M, Baer G, Agnon A (2001) Evidence from gabbro of the Troodos ophiolite for lateral magma transport along a slow-spreading mid-ocean ridge. Nature 409:72–75

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Brook BW, O’Grady JJ, Chapman AP, et al (2000) Predictive accuracy of population viability analysis in conservation biology. Nature 404:385–387

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Wahbi M (2013) Algorithms and Ordering Heuristics for Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ USA

An edited book

Alfaro L de (ed) (2009) Foundations of Software Science and Computational Structures: 12th International Conference, FOSSACS 2009, Held as Part of the Joint European Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, ETAPS 2009, York, UK, March 22-29, 2009. Proceedings. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg

A chapter in an edited book

Coventry BJ, Stavrou P (2014) Foot Surgery. In: Coventry BJ (ed) Peripheral, Head and Neck Surgery. Springer, London, pp 49–62

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 Management.

Blog post

Andrew E (2014) Rapid Growth Of The Cerebellum May Have Helped Shape Human Evolution. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/brain/rapid-growth-cerebellum-may-have-helped-shape-human-evolution/. Accessed 30 Oct 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 (1975) Federal Materials Research and Development. 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

Guarin Y (2017) A Postpartum Support Group for Women Experiencing Postpartum Depression: A Grant Proposal. Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach

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

Vecsey G (2011) College Athletes Move Concussions Into the Courtroom. New York Times B14

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Bohannon 2007).
This sentence cites two references (Bohannon 2007; Kondo and Hayashi 2013).

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

Two authors: (Kondo and Hayashi 2013)
Three or more authors: (Brook et al. 2000)
