How to format your references using the Globalisation, Societies and Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Globalisation, Societies 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.

Kampinga, Harm H. 2015. “Molecular Biology: It Takes Two to Untangle.” Nature 524 (7564): 169–170.

Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

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 Globalisation, Societies and Education.

Blog post

Hamilton, Kristy. 2017. “7 “Facts’ You Learned In School That Are No Longer True.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/editors-blog/seven-facts-you-learned-in-school-that-are-no-longer-true/.

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. 2001. Financial Management: Assessment of the Airline Industry’s Estimated Losses Arising From the Events of September 11. GAO-02-133R. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Yasa, Santosh Reddy. 2017. “Visual Basic Simulation of H2S Removal from Natural Gas at Downhole in an Extraction Well.” Doctoral dissertation, Lafayette, LA: University of Louisiana.

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

Davidson, Adam. 2012. “God Save the British Economy.” New York Times, December 19.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Kampinga 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Kampinga 2015; Li and Xu 2014).

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

Two authors: (Li and Xu 2014)
Three authors: (Boisvert, Mark-Kurik, and Ahlberg 2008)
4 or more authors: (Vigny et al. 2011)
