How to format your references using the Fungal Biology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Fungal Biology. 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	Download the output style file
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

Gorvel, J.-P., 2006. Microbiology. Bacterial bushwacking through a microtubule jungle. Science 314, 931–932.

A journal article with 2 authors

Bouibes, A., Zaoui, A., 2014. High-pressure polymorphs of ZnCO₃: evolutionary crystal structure prediction. Sci. Rep. 4, 5172.

A journal article with 3 authors

Gawronski, H., Mehlhorn, M., Morgenstern, K., 2008. Imaging phonon excitation with atomic resolution. Science 319, 930–933.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Tatsuo, H., Ono, N., Tanaka, K., Yanagi, Y., 2000. SLAM (CDw150) is a cellular receptor for measles virus. Nature 406, 893–897.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

An edited book

Moore, R.J. (Ed.), 2013. Handbook of Pain and Palliative Care: Biobehavioral Approaches for the Life Course. Springer, New York, NY.

A chapter in an edited book

(Eds.), Machine Learning in Medical Imaging: Third International Workshop, MLMI 2012, Held in Conjunction with MICCAI 2012, Nice, France, October 1, 2012, Revised Selected Papers, Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, pp. 27–35.

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.

Blog post

Luntz, S., 2015. Stress Harms Infants’ Learning Flexibility [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/brain/stress-harms-infants-learning-flexibility/ (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, 1991. Within-School Discrimination: Inadequate Title VI Enforcement by Education’s Office for Civil Rights (No. T-HRD-91-17). 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

Claar, P.L., 2017. A Correlational Study Comparing the Relationship between School Leader Intercultural Development, Selected Demographic Variables, and Student Achievement (Doctoral dissertation). Pepperdine University, Malibu, CA.

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

Pols, M., 2017. World War II Fiction: The Home Front. New York Times BR26.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Gorvel, 2006).
This sentence cites two references (Bouibes and Zaoui, 2014; Gorvel, 2006).

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

Two authors: (Bouibes and Zaoui, 2014)
Three or more authors: (Tatsuo et al., 2000)
