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

Aleksander I. The self “out there.” Nature. 2001 Sep 6;413(6851):23.

A journal article with 2 authors

Jacque JM, Stevenson M. The inner-nuclear-envelope protein emerin regulates HIV-1 infectivity. Nature. 2006 Jun 1;441(7093):641–5.

A journal article with 3 authors

del Campo A, Goold J, Paternostro M. More bang for your buck: super-adiabatic quantum engines. Sci Rep. 2014 Aug 28;4:6208.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Ursin R, Jennewein T, Aspelmeyer M, Kaltenbaek R, Lindenthal M, Walther P, et al. Communications: quantum teleportation across the Danube. Nature. 2004 Aug 19;430(7002):849.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Tardu S. Transport and Coherent Structures in Wall Turbulence. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2014.

An edited book

Goldwyn AJ, Silverman RM, editors. Mediterranean Modernism: Intercultural Exchange and Aesthetic Development. New York, NY: Palgrave Macmillan US; 2016. (Mediterranean Perspectives).

A chapter in an edited book

Blog post

Andrew E. Deciphering The Mysterious Decline Of Honey Bees [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2016 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/deciphering-mysterious-decline-honey-bees/

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. Equal Employment Opportunity: Actions Needed for FAA to Implement Committee Recommendations in the Airline Industry. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1989 Aug. Report No.: HRD-89-100.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Lee S. Data-driven computer vision for science and the humanities [Doctoral dissertation]. [Bloomington, IN]: Indiana University; 2016.

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

Johnson G. Psychedelic Universe. New York Times. 2011 Jun 19;BR14.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Aleksander 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Aleksander 2001; Jacque and Stevenson 2006).

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

Two authors: (Jacque and Stevenson 2006)
Three or more authors: (Ursin et al. 2004)
