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

Padma, T. V. 2014. “Developing Countries: The Outcomes Paradox.” Nature 508 (7494): S14-5.

A journal article with 2 authors

Peng, Liang, and N. Asger Mortensen. 2014. “Plasmonic-Cavity Model for Radiating Nano-Rod Antennas.” Scientific Reports 4 (January): 3825.

A journal article with 3 authors

Tanjeem, Nabila, Tadashi Kawazoe, and Takashi Yatsui. 2013. “CO2 Phonon Mode Renormalization Using Phonon-Assisted Energy up-Conversion.” Scientific Reports 3 (November): 3341.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Kitajima, Tomoya S., Shihori Yokobayashi, Masayuki Yamamoto, and Yoshinori Watanabe. 2003. “Distinct Cohesin Complexes Organize Meiotic Chromosome Domains.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 300 (5622): 1152–1155.

Books and book chapters

Here are examples of references for authored and edited books as well as book chapters.

An authored book

Henningson, 35–42. IUTAM Bookseries. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands.

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

Andrew, Elise. 2015. “Weight Loss Drug Made From War Chemicals Gets Deadly New Reach Online.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/weight-loss-drug-made-war-chemicals-gets-deadly-new-reach-online/.

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. 2013. Preliminary Results of Work on FAA Facility Conditions and Workplace Safety. GAO-13-509R. 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

Gowda, Vinita. 2009. “Pollination Biology and Inter-Island Geographical Variation in the Mutualistic Heliconia (Heliconiaceae)-Hummingbird (Trochilidae) Interaction of the Eastern Caribbean Islands.” Doctoral dissertation, Washington, DC: George Washington 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

Gustines, George Gene. 2016. “Zombies Revived in a Walking Dead Digital Comic.” New York Times, April 21.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Padma 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Padma 2014; Peng and Mortensen 2014).

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

Two authors: (Peng and Mortensen 2014)
Three authors: (Tanjeem, Kawazoe, and Yatsui 2013)
4 or more authors: (Kitajima et al. 2003)
