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

Fischer R (2008) Developmental biology. Sex and poison in the dark. Science 320:1430–1431

A journal article with 2 authors

Davidson DJ, Andrews J (2013) Ecology. Not all about consumption. Science 339:1286–1287

A journal article with 3 authors

Domínguez-García V, Pigolotti S, Muñoz MA (2014) Inherent directionality explains the lack of feedback loops in empirical networks. Sci Rep 4:7497

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Ascher DB, Wielens J, Nero TL, et al (2014) Potent hepatitis C inhibitors bind directly to NS5A and reduce its affinity for RNA. Sci Rep 4:4765

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Liphard KG (2014) Labormanagement. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, D-69451 Weinheim, Germany

An edited book

Simpson SS, Weisburd D (2009) The Criminology of White-Collar Crime, 1st ed. Springer, New York, NY

A chapter in an edited book

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

Andrew D (2016) How Brain Implants Can Let Paralysed People Move Again. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/how-brain-implants-can-let-paralysed-people-move-again/. 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 (1990) Promising Practice: Private Programs Guaranteeing Student Aid for Higher Education. 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

Sokoya K (2014) A Historical Analysis of the Contributions of the Black Power Movement to Higher Education: 1960 – 1980. Doctoral dissertation, George Washington University

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

Wilson M (2017) In Officers’ 4-Wheeled ‘Home,’ A Shattered Sense of Security. New York Times A16

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].
