How to format your references using the Glossa citation style

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

Soden, B. J. 2000. Atmospheric physics. Enlightening water vapour. Nature 406(6793). 247–248.

A journal article with 2 authors

Tulin, Alexei & Spradling, Allan. 2003. Chromatin loosening by poly(ADP)-ribose polymerase (PARP) at Drosophila puff loci. Science (New York, N.Y.) 299(5606). 560–562.

A journal article with 3 authors

Murakami, Shuichi & Nagaosa, Naoto & Zhang, Shou-Cheng. 2003. Dissipationless quantum spin current at room temperature. Science (New York, N.Y.) 301(5638). 1348–1351.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Mallamace, Francesco & Corsaro, Carmelo & Leone, Nancy & Villari, Valentina & Micali, Norberto & Chen, Sow-Hsin. 2014. On the ergodicity of supercooled molecular glass-forming liquids at the dynamical arrest: the o-terphenyl case. Scientific Reports 4. 3747.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Brauer, Roger L. 2005. Safety and Health for Engineers. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

Camurri, Antonio & Costa, Cristina (eds.). 2012. Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment: 4th International ICST Conference, INTETAIN 2011, Genova, Italy, May 25-27, 2011, Revised Selected Papers Vol. 78. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Chen, Qingfeng & Zhang, Chengqi & Zhang, Shichao. 2008. Uncertainty Issues in Secure Messages. In Zhang, Chengqi & Zhang, Shichao (eds.), Secure Transaction Protocol Analysis: Models and Applications, 131–173. 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 Glossa.

Blog post

Carpineti, Alfredo. 2016, May 5. Pluto’s Interaction With The Solar Wind Is Completely Unique. (https://www.iflscience.com/space/plutos-interaction-solar-wind-completely-unique/) (Accessed 2018-10-30)

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. 2014. Secure Flight: TSA Should Take Additional Steps to Determine Program Effectiveness (No. GAO-14-531). 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

Nespoli, Giuseppe. 2017. Impact of Supervisor Support on Employee Job Satisfaction Among Fundraising Staff Within Higher Education. Malibu, CA: Pepperdine University dissertation.

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

Delreal, Jose A. & Bromwich, Jonah Engel. 2017, October 2. Suspect, an Unmoored Retiree, Kept Quiet and Gambled Often. New York Times, p. A1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Soden 2000).
This sentence cites two references (Soden 2000; Tulin & Spradling 2003).

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

Two authors: (Tulin & Spradling 2003)
Three authors: (Murakami & Nagaosa & Zhang 2003)
4 or more authors: (Mallamace et al. 2014)
