How to format your references using the Food and Bioproducts Processing citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Food and Bioproducts Processing. 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:

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Goldston, D., 2008. A delicate balance. Nature 453, 838.
A journal article with 2 authors
Li, N., DiCarlo, J.J., 2008. Unsupervised natural experience rapidly alters invariant object representation in visual cortex. Science 321, 1502–1507.
A journal article with 3 authors
Maisel, S.B., Höfler, M., Müller, S., 2012. A canonical stability-elasticity relationship verified for one million face-centred-cubic structures. Nature 491, 740–743.
A journal article with 4 or more authors
Sigmundsson, F., Hreinsdóttir, S., Hooper, A., Arnadóttir, T., Pedersen, R., Roberts, M.J., Oskarsson, N., Auriac, A., Decriem, J., Einarsson, P., Geirsson, H., Hensch, M., Ofeigsson, B.G., Sturkell, E., Sveinbjörnsson, H., Feigl, K.L., 2010.

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 Food and Bioproducts Processing.

Blog post
Andrew, E., 2015. Rising Seas Threaten To Drown Important Mangrove Forests, Unless We Intervene [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/rising-seas-threaten-drown-important-mangrove-forests-unless-we-intervene/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1987. Hazardous Weather Detection and Dissemination Systems (No. T-RCED-87-43). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

New York Times article

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Goldston, 2008).

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

  • Two authors: (Li and DiCarlo, 2008)
  • Three or more authors: (Sigmundsson et al., 2010)
