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
Cohen, J., 2001. Knife-edge of design. Nature 411, 529.
A journal article with 2 authors
Gottlieb, R.A., Bernstein, D., 2015. METABOLISM. Mitochondria shape cardiac metabolism. Science 350, 1162–1163.
A journal article with 3 authors
Bishop, J.R., Schuksz, M., Esko, J.D., 2007. Heparan sulphate proteoglycans fine-tune mammalian physiology. Nature 446, 1030–1037.
A journal article with 4 or more authors
Verbiscer, A., French, R., Showalter, M., Helfenstein, P., 2007. Enceladus: cosmic graffiti artist caught in the act. Science 315, 815.

Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, pp. 19–28.

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, D., 2016. Why We’re More Likely To Date Someone Who Has An Ex [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/why-were-more-likely-to-date-someone-who-has-an-ex/ (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, 1983. [Aging Issues in the 1980’s: A Computerized Information System] (No. 121285). 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
Clark, M., 2011. How Charter School Teachers Act on Perceived Autonomy: A Qualitative Study of Curricular Decisions (Doctoral dissertation). George Washington University, Washington, DC.

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., 2008. Homegrown: Sweet Peaches. New York Times NJ8.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Cohen, 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Cohen, 2001; Gottlieb and Bernstein, 2015).

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

  • Two authors: (Gottlieb and Bernstein, 2015)
  • Three or more authors: (Verbiscer et al., 2007)
