How to format your references using the Intercultural Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Intercultural Education. 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

Artsimovitch, Irina. 2014. “Molecular Biology: The Tug of DNA Repair.” Nature 505 (7483): 298–299.

A journal article with 2 authors

Martin, G. M., and J. Oshima. 2000. “Lessons from Human Progeroid Syndromes.” Nature 408 (6809): 263–266.

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 Intercultural Education.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2014. “Mouse vs. Scorpion- Who Do You Think Wins?” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/mouse-vs-scorpion-who-do-you-think-wins/.

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. 2014. Consumers’ Location Data: Companies Take Steps to Protect Privacy, but Practices Are Inconsistent, and Risks May Not Be Clear to Consumers. GAO-14-649T. 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

Slotnick, Adam. 2012. “Status Symbols in Triathlete Culture.” Doctoral dissertation, Boca Raton, FL: Florida Atlantic 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

Rothenberg, Ben. 2017. “A Cosmetics Company Bets on Underdogs.” New York Times, September 3.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Artsimovitch 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Artsimovitch 2014; Martin and Oshima 2000).

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

Two authors: (Martin and Oshima 2000)
Three authors: (Scholz, Franz, and Heberlein 2005)
4 or more authors: (Kaur et al. 2013)
