How to format your references using the Ethnomusicology citation style

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

Chou, Chung-Pin. 2014. “Network Robustness: Detecting Topological Quantum Phases.” Scientific Reports 4(December):7526.

A journal article with 2 authors

Campbell, Philip, and Michelle Grayson. 2014. “Assessing Science.” Nature 511(7510):S49.

A journal article with 3 authors

Agarwala, S., T. A. Sanders, and C. W. Ragsdale. 2001. “Sonic Hedgehog Control of Size and Shape in Midbrain Pattern Formation.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 291(5511):2147–50.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Akimov, A. V., A. Mukherjee, C. L. Yu, D. E. Chang, A. S. Zibrov, P. R. Hemmer, H. Park, and M. D. Lukin. 2007. “Generation of Single Optical Plasmons in Metallic Nanowires Coupled to Quantum Dots.” Nature 450(7168):402–6.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Chiasson, Andrew D. 2016. Geothermal Heat Pump and Heat Engine Systems. Chichester, UK: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An edited book

Iguchi, Manabu. 2011. Modeling Multiphase Materials Processes: Gas-Liquid Systems. Edited by Olusegun J. Ilegbusi. New York, NY: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Lee, Chung-Ching, and Jacques M. Hervé. 2012. “A Discontinuously Movable Constant Velocity Shaft Coupling of Koenigs Joint Type.” In Advances in Reconfigurable Mechanisms and Robots I, edited by Jian S. Dai, Matteo Zoppi, and Xianwen Kong, 35–43. London: Springer.

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 Ethnomusicology.

Blog post

Evans, Katy. 2016. “B12 Deficiency In Mothers Raises Risk Of Type 2 Diabetes In Children.” IFLScience. IFLScience. November 7. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/b12-deficiency-in-mothers-raises-risk-type-2-diabetes-in-children/.

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. 1986. “What Every Auditor Should Know About Computer Information Systems.” 130454. Washington, DC: 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

Grefe, Sarah E. 2013. “Plasmonic and Topological Insulator Nanostructures and Metamaterials Nanoscale Near-Field Investigations: Experiment and Theory.” Doctoral dissertation, Long Beach, CA: 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

Williams, John. 2017. “One Side Effect of Viagra: Inspiration to Write.” New York Times, October 3.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Chou 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Campbell and Grayson 2014; Chou 2014).

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

Two authors: (Campbell and Grayson 2014)
Three or more authors: (Akimov et al. 2007)
