How to format your references using the International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics. 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

de Wijn, Alfred G. 2012. “Astronomy. Measuring Solar Magnetism.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 338 (6106): 476–477.

A journal article with 2 authors

Olivera, Baldomero M., and Russell W. Teichert. 2011. “Neuroscience: Chemical Ecology of Pain.” Nature 479 (7373): 306–307.

A journal article with 3 authors

Dillingham, Mark S., Maria Spies, and Stephen C. Kowalczykowski. 2003. “RecBCD Enzyme Is a Bipolar DNA Helicase.” Nature 423 (6942): 893–897.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

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 International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics.

Blog post

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. 1995. Federal Family Education Loan Information System: Weak Computer Controls Increase Risk of Unauthorized Access to Sensitive Data. AIMD-95-117. 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

Lama, Norsang. 2017. “Optimized Veterinary Thermographic Image Classification Using Support Vector Machines and Noise Mitigation.” Doctoral dissertation, Edwardsville, IL: Southern Illinois 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

Hodgman, John. 2017. “Bonus Advice From Judge John Hodgman.” New York Times, September 29.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (de Wijn 2012).
This sentence cites two references (de Wijn 2012; Olivera and Teichert 2011).

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

Two authors: (Olivera and Teichert 2011)
Three authors: (Dillingham, Spies, and Kowalczykowski 2003)
4 or more authors: (Mayer et al. 2000)
