How to format your references using the Innovation and Development citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Innovation and Development. 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	Download the output style file
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

Nabel, G. J. 2001. “Challenges and Opportunities for Development of an AIDS Vaccine.” Nature 410 (6831): 1002–1007.

A journal article with 2 authors

Müller, Ulrike K., and Sander Kranenbarg. 2004. “Physiology. Power at the Tip of the Tongue.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 304 (5668): 217–219.

A journal article with 3 authors

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2015. “Cancer Drug Shows Promise In Treating Spinal Cord Injuries.” IFLScience. IFLScience.

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. 1988. Airline Competition: Fare and Service Changes at St. Louis Since the TWA-Ozark Merger. RCED-88-217BR. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

Doctoral dissertation

Clyde, Kevin M. 2012. “Instructors’ Perceptions of the National Association of Schools of Music Influence on the Development of Undergraduate Applied Percussion Curricula.” Doctoral dissertation, Scottsdale, AZ: Northcentral University.

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

Wagner, James. 2016. “Home Runs, Not Surprisingly, Lift the Mets.” New York Times, September 8.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Nabel 2001).

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

Two authors: (Müller and Kranenbarg 2004)
Three authors: (Aspinwall, Brown, and Tabery 2012)
4 or more authors: (Dong et al. 2004)
