How to format your references using the Equine Veterinary Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Equine Veterinary Education (EVE). 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

McClung, C.R. (2014) Plant science. Making hunger yield. Science 344, 699–700.

A journal article with 2 authors

Adam, C. and Vidal, V. (2010) Mantle flow drives the subsidence of oceanic plates. Science 328, 83–85.

A journal article with 3 authors

Guo, F.-Q., Okamoto, M. and Crawford, N.M. (2003) Identification of a plant nitric oxide synthase gene involved in hormonal signaling. Science 302, 100–103.

A journal article with 12 or more authors

Fujii, H., Chinnusamy, V., Rodrigues, A., Rubio, S., Antoni, R., Park, S.-Y., Cutler, S.R., Sheen, J., Rodriguez, P.L. and Zhu, J.-K. (2009) In vitro reconstitution of an abscisic acid signalling pathway. Nature 462, 660–664.

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 Equine Veterinary Education.

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 (2010) Federal Aviation Administration: Agency Is Taking Steps to Plan for and Train Its Technician Workforce, but a More Strategic Approach Is Warranted. 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

Zbeeb, K. (2009) Transport and dispersion of fire extinguishing agents downstream from clutter elements of aircraft engine nacelles.

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

Saslow, L. (2006) Suozzi Offers Plan to Shore Up Aviation Museum. New York Times 14LI2.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (McClung 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Adam and Vidal 2010, McClung 2014).

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

Two authors: (Adam and Vidal 2010)
Three or more authors: (Fujii et al. 2009)
