How to format your references using the Inter-Asia Cultural Studies citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Inter-Asia Cultural Studies. 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

Miller, David A. B. 2015. “Applied Optics. Sorting out Light.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 347 (6229): 1423–1424.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ridderinkhof, K. Richard, and Wery P. M. van den Wildenberg. 2005. “Neuroscience. Adaptive Coding.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 307 (5712): 1059–1060.

A journal article with 3 authors

Montoya, José M., Stuart L. Pimm, and Ricard V. Solé. 2006. “Ecological Networks and Their Fragility.” Nature 442 (7100): 259–264.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Web sites

Blog post

Luntz, Stephen. 2016. “First Drug Success In Slowing Previously Untreatable Form Of Multiple Sclerosis.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/first-drug-success-in-slowing-previously-untreatable-form-of-multiple-sclerosis/.

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. 1989. Aircraft Noise: Status and Management of FAA’s West Coast Plan. RCED-89-84. 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

McCarroll, Michele L. 2005. “Exercise and Airway Clearing Devices in Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs for Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.” Doctoral dissertation, Columbus, OH: Ohio State 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

Leland, John. 2017. “Comrades of the Sky.” New York Times, May 25.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Miller 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Miller 2015; Ridderinkhof and van den Wildenberg 2005).

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

Two authors: (Ridderinkhof and van den Wildenberg 2005)
Three authors: (Montoya, Pimm, and Solé 2006)
4 or more authors: (Dion et al. 2007)
