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 reference managers.
BibTeX	BibTeX styles 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

Fitzsimmons A (2006). Planetary Science. Ice among the Rocks. Science 312: 535–6.

A journal article with 2 authors

Simpkins PG, Kuck VJ (2000). Air Entrapment in Coatings by Way of a Tip-Streaming Meniscus. Nature 403: 641–3.

A journal article with 3 authors

Holt LJ, Krutchinsky AN, Morgan DO (2008). Positive Feedback Sharpens the Anaphase Switch. Nature 454: 353–7.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Gerardot BD, Brunner D, Dalgarno PA, Ohberg P, Seidl S, Kroner M, Karrai K, Stoltz NG, et al (2008). Optical Pumping of a Single Hole Spin in a Quantum Dot. Nature 451: 441–4.

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

An authored book

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

Andrew E (2014). Administering Oxytocin Increases Social Behaviors In Infant Macaques. IFLScience. Available at: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/administering-oxytocin-increases-social-behaviors-infant-macaques/ [Accessed October 30, 2018].

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 (1973). Protest Against Award for Computer System. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Dasari RA (2016). Automatic Driving System by Recognizing Road Signs Using Digital Image Processing. Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA.

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

Jorden J (2017). ‘Don Giovanni’ in Its Indelible Essence. New York Times: C5.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

This sentence cites one reference ¹.

This sentence cites four references ^1–4.
