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

Bonetta, L. 2010. Protein-protein interactions: Tools for the search. Nature 468:852.

A journal article with 2 authors

Brainard, M. S., and A. J. Doupe. 2000. Interruption of a basal ganglia-forebrain circuit prevents plasticity of learned vocalizations. Nature 404:762–766.

A journal article with 3 authors

McLaughlin, A. C., F. Sher, and J. P. Attfield. 2005. Negative lattice expansion from the superconductivity--antiferromagnetism crossover in ruthenium copper oxides. Nature 436:829–832.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Schreiner, P., X. Chen, K. Husnjak, L. Randles, N. Zhang, S. Elsasser, D. Finley, I. Dikic, K. J. Walters, and M. Groll. 2008. Ubiquitin docking at the proteasome through a novel pleckstrin-homology domain interaction. Nature 453:548–552.

Blog post

Andrews, R. 2016. Colossal “Lake” Discovered Hiding Beneath Ancient Bolivian Volcano. IFLScience. IFLScience. <https://www.iflscience.com/environment/colossal-lake-discovered-hiding-beneath-ancient-bolivian-volcano/>. Accessed 30 Oct 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. 2001. Customs Service Modernization: Results of Review of First Automated Commercial Environment Expenditure Plan. 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

Nam, Y.-H. 2008. On Throughput-Reliability-Delay Tradeoffs in Wireless Networks. Doctoral dissertation, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.

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

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

Two authors: (Brainard and Doupe 2000)
