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

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
Falk, D., 2000. Careers in science offer women an unusual bonus: immortality. Nature 407, 833.
A journal article with 2 authors
Nielsen, R., Hubisz, M.J., 2005. Evolutionary genomics: detecting selection needs comparative data. Nature 433, E6; discussion E7-8.
A journal article with 3 authors
Pavlov, P., Svendsen, J.I., Indrelid, S., 2001. Human presence in the European Arctic nearly 40,000 years ago. Nature 413, 64–67.
A journal article with 4 or more authors

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.

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, 2014. Maritime Infrastructure: Key Issues Related to Commercial Activity in the U.S. Arctic over the Next Decade (No. GAO-14-299). 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
Brenner, D.S., 2015. The Phonetics of Mandarin Tones in Conversation (Doctoral dissertation). University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ.

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
Savodnik, P., 2013. If They Build It, Will The Kardashians Come? New York Times MM32.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Falk, 2000).
This sentence cites two references (Falk, 2000; Nielsen and Hubisz, 2005).

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

  • Two authors: (Nielsen and Hubisz, 2005)
  • Three or more authors: (Goslar et al., 2000)
