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

Turney C (2014) This was no Antarctic pleasure cruise. Nature 505:133

A journal article with 2 authors

Papavasiliou FN, Schatz DG (2000) Cell-cycle-regulated DNA double-stranded breaks in somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin genes. Nature 408:216–221

A journal article with 3 authors

Șenbabaoğlu Y, Michailidis G, Li JZ (2014) Critical limitations of consensus clustering in class discovery. Sci Rep 4:6207

A journal article with 5 or more authors

Clancy DJ, Gems D, Harshman LG, et al (2001) Extension of life-span by loss of CHICO, a Drosophila insulin receptor substrate protein. Science 292:104–106

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Chen K (2015) Performance Evaluation by Simulation and Analysis with Applications to Computer Networks. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ

An edited book

Ismail AF (2015) Gas Separation Membranes: Polymeric and Inorganic. Springer International Publishing, Cham

A chapter in an edited book

Ducasse L, Pumir A (2009) Collision rate between heavy particles in a model turbulent flow. In: Eckhardt B (ed) Advances in Turbulence XII: Proceedings of the 12th EUROMECH European Turbulence Conference, September 7-10, 2009, Marburg, Germany. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, pp 23–26

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

Hale T (2017) Kid Working On WW2 Homework Finds Nazi Plane With Pilot’s Skeleton Inside. In: IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/kid-working-on-ww2-homework-finds-nazi-plane-with-pilots-skeleton-inside/. 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 (1982) Analysis of the Energy Research and Development Budget Proposal Process. 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

Davis LV (2017) Oxidation Effects on the Magnetic Properties of Iron Phthalocyanine Thin Films. 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

Barker K (2015) Choice for Addicts: Use Again, or Lose Home. New York Times A1

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].
