How to format your references using the Fungal Biology and Biotechnology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Fungal Biology and Biotechnology. 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

1. Marx V. Next-generation sequencing: The genome jigsaw. Nature. 2013;501:263–8.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Bever JD, Wang M. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: hyphal fusion and multigenomic structure. Nature. 2005;433:E3-4; discussion E4.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Hanotte O, Dessie T, Kemp S. Ecology. Time to tap Africa’s livestock genomes. Science. 2010;328:1640–1.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Seidenbecher T, Laxmi TR, Stork O, Pape H-C. Amygdalar and hippocampal theta rhythm synchronization during fear memory retrieval. Science. 2003;301:846–50.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1. Attokaran M. Natural Food Flavors and Colorants. Oxford, UK: Wiley-Blackwell; 2011.

An edited book

1. Whitacre DM, editor. Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology Volume 221. New York, NY: Springer; 2013.

A chapter in an edited book

1. Gjedde A, Bauer WR, Wong DF. Blood–Brain Transfer and Metabolism of Oxygen. In: Bauer WR, Wong DF, editors. Neurokinetics: The Dynamics of Neurobiology in Vivo. Boston, MA: Springer US; 2011. p. 153–76.

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 Fungal Biology and Biotechnology.

Blog post

1. Andrews R. An “Emotional AI” Is Being Developed By A Team Of Russian Researchers [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2016 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/technology/emotional-ai-developed-team-russian-researchers/

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

1. Government Accountability Office. Federal Communications Commission: Assessment and Collection of Regulatory Fees for Fiscal Year 1999. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1999 Jul. Report No.: OGC-99-54.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

1. Guo Z. Experimental Analysis of Polymer Nanocomposite Foaming Using Carbon Dioxide [Doctoral dissertation]. [Columbus, OH]: Ohio State University; 2008.

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

1. Sisario B. Concord Bicycle Music Buying Imagem Music. New York Times. 2017 Jun 2;B6.

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].
