How to format your references using the Evolutionary Intelligence citation style

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

Weaire D (2013) Applied physics. A fresh start for foam physics. Science 340:693–694

A journal article with 2 authors

Csabai I, Szathmáry E (2011) Comment on “A bacterium that can grow by using arsenic instead of phosphorus.” Science 332:1149; author reply 1149

A journal article with 3 authors

Miake J, Marbán E, Nuss HB (2002) Biological pacemaker created by gene transfer. Nature 419:132–133

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Quesenberry PJ, Dooner G, Dooner M, Abedi M (2005) Developmental biology: Ignoratio elenchi: red herrings in stem cell research. Science 308:1121–1122

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Levin MA, Kalal TT (2005) Improving Product Reliability. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK

An edited book

Neto MA (2015) Engineering Computation of Structures: The Finite Element Method, 1st ed. 2015. Springer International Publishing, Cham

A chapter in an edited book

Bárány I, Hubard A, Jerónimo J (2009) Slicing Convex Sets and Measures by a Hyperplane. In: Pollack R, Pach J, Goodman JE (eds) Twentieth Anniversary Volume: Discrete & Computational Geometry. Springer, New York, NY, pp 1–9

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 Intelligence.

Blog post

Luntz S (2014) Titanium Dioxide Roofs Could Fight Air Pollution. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/environment/titanium-dioxide-roofs-could-fight-air-pollution/. 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 (2013) Intermodal Transportation: Results of GAO’s Survey on Air-Rail Connectivity (GAO-13-692SP, August 2013), an E-supplement to GAO-13-691. 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

Fregoso J (2015) Through the pipeline: Degree aspirations of African American and Latino males enrolled in California community colleges. 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

Feeney K (2009) Barbecue, Smoked and Sauced. New York Times NJ9

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

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