This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Husserl Studies. For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteFind the style here: output styles overview
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Sifers, R. N. (2003). Cell biology. Protein degradation unlocked. Science (New York, N.Y.), 299(5611), 1330–1331.
A journal article with 2 authors
Hotchkiss, R. S., & Sherwood, E. R. (2015). Immunology. Getting sepsis therapy right. Science (New York, N.Y.), 347(6227), 1201–1202.
A journal article with 3 authors
Cochran, W. W., Mouritsen, H., & Wikelski, M. (2004). Migrating songbirds recalibrate their magnetic compass daily from twilight cues. Science (New York, N.Y.), 304(5669), 405–408.
A journal article with 8 or more authors
Bangura, A. F., Xu, X., Wakeham, N., Peng, N., Horii, S., & Hussey, N. E. (2013). The Wiedemann-Franz law in the putative one-dimensional metallic phase of PrBa₂Cu₄O₈. Scientific reports, 3, 3261.

Books and book chapters

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

An edited 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 Husserl Studies.

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. (1998). F-22 Aircraft: Progress of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development Program (No. T-NSIAD-98-137). Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation
Canan, D. (2016). Action Research Study on the Gradual Release of Responsibility, Critical Thinking Skills and Use of Intertextuality in a Midwest Suburban High School Setting (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
Shultz, G. P., & Halstead, T. (2017, May 9). Paris Deal Benefits Business. New York Times, p. A23.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Sifers 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Hotchkiss and Sherwood 2015; Sifers 2003).

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

  • Two authors: (Hotchkiss and Sherwood 2015)
  • Three or more authors: (Bangura et al. 2013)
