How to format your references using the Evolutionary Anthropology citation style

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

1 Silk JB. 2014. Animal behaviour: The evolutionary roots of lethal conflict. Nature 513:321–322.

A journal article with 2 authors

1 Murphy JJ, Melchiorre P. 2015. Organic chemistry: Light opens pathways for nickel catalysis. Nature 524:297–298.

A journal article with 3 authors

1 Whitcome KK et al. 2007. Fetal load and the evolution of lumbar lordosis in bipedal hominins. Nature 450:1075–1078.

A journal article with 3 or more authors

1 Wilson JS et al. 2001. Spin-dependent exciton formation in pi-conjugated compounds. Nature 413:828–831.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1 Bauer E et al. 2011. Beyond Redundancy. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

1 D’Odorico P, Porporato A, editors. 2006. Dryland Ecohydrology. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands.

A chapter in an edited book

1 Filoso S et al. 2006. Human activities changing the nitrogen cycle in Brazil. In: Martinelli LA, Howarth RW, editors. Nitrogen Cycling in the Americas: Natural and Anthropogenic Influences and Controls. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands. p 61–89.

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 Evolutionary Anthropology.

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

1 Government Accountability Office. 1987 Jun. Strategic Forces: Supportability, Maintainability, and Readiness of the B-1B Bomber. 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

1 Chima-Okereke O. 2010. The distinct VPS35 mutant, env1, exhibits unique protein mislocalization and processing phenotype [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

1 St. John Kelly E. 1998. Needles Click to a Younger Beat. New York Times. :144.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

This sentence cites one reference ¹.
This sentence cites two references ^1,2.
This sentence cites four references ^1–4.
