How to format your references using the Human-Wildlife Interactions citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Human-Wildlife Interactions. 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

Bai, C. 2005. Global voices of science. Ascent of nanoscience in China. Science (New York, N.Y.) 309:61–63.

A journal article with 2 authors

Pucadyil, T. J., and S. L. Schmid. 2009. Conserved functions of membrane active GTPases in coated vesicle formation. Science (New York, N.Y.) 325:1217–1220.

A journal article with 3 authors

Khashan, S. A., A. Alazzam, and E. P. Furlani. 2014. Computational analysis of enhanced magnetic bioseparation in microfluidic systems with flow-invasive magnetic elements. Scientific reports 4:5299.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

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 Human-Wildlife Interactions.

Blog post

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. 2011. Cost and Legal Authority for Selected Financial Literacy Programs and Activities. 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

Smith, S. M. 2017. The Relationship Between Political Affiliation and Student Achievement in the Areas of Reading and Mathematics, with Respect to Black Students. Doctoral dissertation, Lindenwood University, St. Charles, MO.

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

Greenhouse, L. 2006. justices reject campaign limits in vermont case. New York Times27 June 2006:A1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Bai 2005).
This sentence cites two references (Bai 2005, Pucadyil and Schmid 2009).

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

Two authors: (Pucadyil and Schmid 2009)
Three or more authors: (Rose et al. 2018)
