How to format your references using the HPB citation style

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

Adrian RJ. Applied physics. Closing in on models of wall turbulence. Science. 2010 Jul 9;329(5988):155–6.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ryan AJ, Christensen PR. Coils and polygonal crust in the Athabasca Valles region, Mars, as evidence for a volcanic history. Science. 2012 Apr 27;336(6080):449–52.

A journal article with 3 authors

Piscitelli CL, Krishnamurthy H, Gouaux E. Neurotransmitter/sodium symporter orthologue LeuT has a single high-affinity substrate site. Nature. 2010 Dec 23;468(7327):1129–32.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Sarkar I, Hauber I, Hauber J, Buchholz F. HIV-1 proviral DNA excision using an evolved recombinase. Science. 2007 Jun 29;316(5833):1912–5.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

de Almeida JPM, Maunder EAW. Equilibrium Finite Element Formulations. Chichester, UK: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd; 2017.

An edited book

Johnson-Hanks JA. Understanding Family Change and Variation: Toward a Theory of Conjunctural Action. Bachrach CA, Morgan SP, Kohler HP, editors. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands; 2011. (Understanding Population Trends and Processes; vol. 5).

A chapter in an edited book

Coppo M, Dezani-Ciancaglini M, Padovani L, Yoshida N. Inference of Global Progress Properties for Dynamically Interleaved Multiparty Sessions. In: Nicola RD, Julien C, editors. Coordination Models and Languages: 15th International Conference, COORDINATION 2013, Held as Part of the 8th International Federated Conference on Distributed Computing Techniques, DisCoTec 2013, Florence, Italy, June 3-5, 2013 Proceedings. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer; 2013. p. 45–59. (Hutchison D, Kanade T, Kittler J, Kleinberg JM, Mattern F, Mitchell JC, et al., editors. Lecture Notes in Computer Science).

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 HPB.

Blog post

O`Callaghan J. What It’s Like To Fly Around The World On Nothing But Solar Power [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2016 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/technology/what-its-fly-around-world-solar-power/

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. USDA Graduate School: Revenue Reporting Needs to Be Improved. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 2001 Oct. Report No.: GAO-02-5.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Tabano JG. How Former Division I Student-Athletes Experienced Their Dual Undergraduate Roles: The Internal Competition for an Identity [Doctoral dissertation]. [Washington, DC]: George Washington University; 2013.

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 W. In a Venezuelan Town, a State of Emergency Is Barely Perceptible. New York Times. 2015 Aug 30;A10.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Adrian 2010).
This sentence cites two references (Adrian 2010; Ryan and Christensen 2012).

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

Two authors: (Ryan and Christensen 2012)
Three or more authors: (Sarkar et al. 2007)
