How to format your references using the Gender and Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Gender and Education. 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

Lorenz, Ralph. 2003. “Planetary Science. The Glitter of Distant Seas.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 302 (5644): 403–404.

A journal article with 2 authors

Zitvogel, Laurence, and Guido Kroemer. 2015. “Cancer: Antibodies Regulate Antitumour Immunity.” Nature 521 (7550): 35–37.

A journal article with 3 authors

Janasek, Dirk, Joachim Franzke, and Andreas Manz. 2006. “Scaling and the Design of Miniaturized Chemical-Analysis Systems.” Nature 442 (7101): 374–380.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Cocheo, V., P. Sacco, C. Boaretto, E. De Saeger, P. P. Ballesta, H. Skov, E. Goelen, N. Gonzalez, and A. B. Caracena. 2000. “Urban Benzene and Population Exposure.” Nature 404 (6774): 141–142.

Web sites

Blog post

Luntz, Stephen. 2014. “What Came First, The Chicken Or The Egg?” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/what-came-first-chicken-or-egg/.

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. 1985. Status of Farmers Home Administration Efforts To Install Office Automation. IMTEC-86-1BR. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

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

Kelly, Michael. 1992. “Clinton Set for a Vacation Of Sports and Lots of Talk.” New York Times, December 28.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lorenz 2003).

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