How to format your references using the Internet Archaeology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Internet Archaeology. 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 reference managers.
BibTeX	BibTeX styles 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

Street, R.A. 2013 ‘Materials science. Unraveling charge transport in conjugated polymers’, Science (New York, N.Y.) 341(6150), 1072–1073.

A journal article with 2 authors

Paz-Silva, G.A. and Lidar, D.A. 2013 ‘Optimally combining dynamical decoupling and quantum error correction’, Scientific reports 3, 1530.

A journal article with 3 authors

Holmes, E.A., Craske, M.G., and Graybiel, A.M. 2014 ‘Psychological treatments: A call for mental-health science’, Nature 511(7509), 287–289.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Pestova, T.V., Lomakin, I.B., Lee, J.H., Choi, S.K., Dever, T.E., and Hellen, C.U. 2000 ‘The joining of ribosomal subunits in eukaryotes requires eIF5B’, Nature 403(6767), 332–335.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Jamison, D.C. 2005 Perl Programming for Biologists, Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

Amoretti, M.C. and Vassallo, N. (eds.) 2016 Meta-Philosophical Reflection on Feminist Philosophies of Science, 1st ed. 2016., Cham: Springer International Publishing.

A chapter in an edited book

Goubault-Larrecq, J. and Jouannaud, J.-P. 2013 ‘The Blossom of Finite Semantic Trees’ in A. Voronkov and C. Weidenbach (eds), Programming Logics: Essays in Memory of Harald Ganzinger, Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer. 90–122.

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 Internet Archaeology.

Blog post

Davis, J. 2015 Scientists Regenerate Nerve Fibers After Spinal Cord Injury [online], IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/scientists-regenerate-sensory-neurons/ [Last accessed: 30 October 2018].

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 1972 Award of an Army Advanced Development Contract in 1971 to the Boeing Company Calling for the Design Fabrication and Testing of Certain Critical Advanced Technology Components, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, No. B-176701.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Sarkar, D. 2008 Nanopass compiler infrastructure, Doctoral dissertation, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN.

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

Rosenbloom, S. and Billard, M. 2010 ‘A Night to Ring Up Some Good Will’, New York Times, 16 Sep, p. E8.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Street 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Paz-Silva and Lidar 2013, Street 2013).

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

Two authors: (Paz-Silva and Lidar 2013)
Three or more authors: (Pestova et al. 2000)
