How to format your references using the Integral Equations and Operator Theory citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Integral Equations and Operator Theory. 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

Marx, V.: Tracking metastasis and tricking cancer. Nature. 494, 133–136 (2013)

A journal article with 2 authors

Jacobs, H.O., Whitesides, G.M.: Submicrometer patterning of charge in thin-film electrets. Science. 291, 1763–1766 (2001)

A journal article with 3 authors

Tuff, J., Wade, J., Wood, B.J.: Volcanism on Mars controlled by early oxidation of the upper mantle. Nature. 498, 342–345 (2013)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Podobnik, B., Baaquie, B.E., Bishop, S., Njavro, D., Li, B.: Growth versus government management improvement during economic downturn. Sci. Rep. 3, 1612 (2013)

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

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1, 2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
