How to format your references using the Environmental Values citation style

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

Petrukovich, A.A. 2008. ‘Planetary science. The elusive onset of geomagnetic substorms’. Science (New York, N.Y.) 321 (5891): 920–921

A journal article with 2 authors

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 Values.

Blog post

Andrew, E. 2015. ‘One In Six Species Faces Extinction As A Result Of Climate Change’IFLScience. Online at https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/one-six-species-faces-extinction-result-climate-change/IFLScience. (accessed 30 October 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. 1981. Legislative and Regulatory Actions Needed To Deal With a Changing Domestic Telecommunications Industry. U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

Doctoral dissertation

Buckley, M.K. 2012. A study of at-risk students’ perceptions of an online academic credit recovery program in an urban North Texas independent school district. Doctoral dissertation. Pepperdine University: Malibu, CA.

News paper articles

New York Times article

Kelly, C. 2007. Selling Jewelry Is Mostly Pitfalls, Not Much Glitter. New York Times, Nov. 24:C6.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Petrukovich, 2008).
This sentence cites two references (Cohen and Brennecke, 2006; Petrukovich, 2008).

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