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

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
Hayashi, S. (2014). Biophysics. Silencing neurons with light. Science (New York, N.Y.), 344(6182), 369–370.
A journal article with 2 authors
Richardson, E., & Marone, C. (2008). Geophysics. What triggers tremor? Science (New York, N.Y.), 319(5860), 166–167.
A journal article with 3 authors
Murtagh, G. J., Dyer, P. S., & Crittenden, P. D. (2000). Sex and the single lichen. Nature, 404(6778), 564.
A journal article with 8 or more authors

Books and book chapters

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

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
Fang, J. (2014, November 10). Editing Stem Cells Could Stop HIV From Invading the Immune System. IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/editing-stem-cells-could-stop-hiv-invading-immune-system/. Accessed 30 October 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. (1976). Summary of Improvement Actions Taken by the Government Printing Office in the Utilization and Management of Automatic Data Processing Resources (No. FGMSD-76-58). 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
Prejean, K. D. (2015). An Analysis of Corporal Punishment Practices in Texas Public Schools: Race, School District Size, Academic Performance, and Policy Influences (Doctoral dissertation). University of Louisiana, Lafayette, LA.

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
Sisario, B. (2016, December 8). YouTube Settles a Skirmish Over Songwriting Royalties. New York Times, p. B3.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Hayashi 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Hayashi 2014; Richardson and Marone 2008).

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

  • Two authors: (Richardson and Marone 2008)
  • Three or more authors: (Wu et al. 2013)
