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

Lippard, Stephen J. 2007. Obituary: Frank Albert Cotton (1930-2007). Nature 446(7136). 626.

A journal article with 2 authors

Riskin, Daniel K. & Hermanson, John W. 2005. Biomechanics: independent evolution of running in vampire bats. Nature 434(7031). 292.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kirk, P. D. W. & Babtie, A. C. & Stumpf, M. P. H. 2015. SYSTEMS BIOLOGY. Systems biology (un)certainties. Science (New York, N.Y.) 350(6259). 386–388.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Weismann, Alexander & Wenderoth, Martin & Lounis, Samir & Zahn, Peter & Quaas, Norbert & Ulbrich, Rainer G. & … Blügel, Stefan. 2009. Seeing the Fermi surface in real space by nanoscale electron focusing. Science (New York, N.Y.) 323(5918). 1190–1193.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Gianni, Robert. 2016. Responsibility and Freedom. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A chapter in an edited book

In Wang, Lingfeng (ed.), Modeling and Control of Sustainable Power Systems: Towards Smarter and Greener Electric Grids, 127–153. 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

Hale, Tom. 2017, March 14. Humans Can Solve This Chess Puzzle, But A Supercomputer Can’t. (https://www.iflscience.com/brain/humans-can-solve-this-chess-puzzle-but-a-supercomputer-cant/) (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. 2012. Higher Education: Improved Tax Information Could Help Pay for College (No. GAO-12-863T). 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

Wilson, Michael W. 2012. Angels in Tinseltown: Health insurance, hormone use, and HIV among transgender women in Los Angeles. Long Beach, CA: California State University, Long Beach 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

Neuman, William. 2014, March 16. In Colombia, Two Warring Officials Provide a Portrait of a Nation’s Political Divide. New York Times, p. A6.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lippard 2007).
This sentence cites two references (Riskin & Hermanson 2005; Lippard 2007).

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

Two authors: (Riskin & Hermanson 2005)
Three authors: (Kirk & Babtie & Stumpf 2015)
4 or more authors: (Weismann et al. 2009)
