How to format your references using the Interpreting citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Interpreting (INTP). 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

Lienhardt, C. (2014). Fundamental research is the key to eliminating TB. Nature 507(7493), 401.

A journal article with 2 authors

Chang, G. & Roth, C. B. (2001). Structure of MsbA from E. coli: a homolog of the multidrug resistance ATP binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Science (New York, N.Y.) 293(5536), 1793–1800.

A journal article with 3 authors

Zabow, G., Dodd, S. J. & Koretsky, A. P. (2015). Shape-changing magnetic assemblies as high-sensitivity NMR-readable nanoprobes. Nature 520(7545), 73–77.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Kasturi, S. P., Skountzou, I., Albrecht, R. A., Koutsonanos, D., Hua, T., Nakaya, H. I., Ravindran, R., Stewart, S., Alam, M., Kwissa, M., et al. (2011). Programming the magnitude and persistence of antibody responses with innate immunity. Nature 470(7335), 543–547.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Maidl, B., Thewes, M. & Maidl, U. (2014). Handbook of Tunnel Engineering II. D-69451 Weinheim, Germany: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH.

An edited book

Khouzani, M., Panaousis, E. & Theodorakopoulos, G. (Eds.) (2015). Decision and Game Theory for Security: 6th International Conference, GameSec 2015, London, UK, November 4-5, 2015, Proceedings (1st ed. 2015), Vol. 9406. Cham: Springer International Publishing.

A chapter in an edited book

Brown, K., Laue, M., Tafur, J., Mahmood, M. N., Scherrer, P. & Keast, R. (2014). An Integrated Approach to Strategic Asset Management. In A. V. Gheorghe, M. Masera & P. F. Katina (Eds.), Infranomics: Sustainability, Engineering Design and Governance. Cham: Springer International Publishing, 57–74.

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 Interpreting.

Blog post

Andrew, E. (2014, September 8). Why Do Men Get Erections In The Morning? IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/what-s-story-morning-glory/ (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 (1994). Electronic Signature Prototype System. Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Barnett, J. (2017). Understanding gender differences in teachers’ level of insight as it relates to ADHD. Doctoral dissertation, Minneapolis, MN: Capella 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

Barron, J. (2016, October 10). Peter Allen Dies at 96; Longtime Host of Met Opera’s Radio Broadcasts. New York Times, p. B12. B12.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lienhardt 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Chang & Roth 2001; Lienhardt 2014).

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

Two authors: (Chang & Roth 2001)
Three or more authors: (Kasturi et al. 2011)
