How to format your references using the Journal of Electronic Imaging citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of Electronic Imaging. 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.

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

A. Mignan, “The debate on the prognostic value of earthquake foreshocks: a meta-analysis,” Sci. Rep. 4, 4099 (2014).

A journal article with 2 authors

R. Fortey and B. Chatterton, “A Devonian trilobite with an eyeshade,” Science 301(5640), 1689 (2003).

A journal article with 3 authors

M. D. Burke, E. M. Berger, and S. L. Schreiber, “Generating diverse skeletons of small molecules combinatorially,” Science 302(5645), 613–618 (2003).

A journal article with 4 or more authors

K. Koziol et al., “High-performance carbon nanotube fiber,” Science 318(5858), 1892–1895 (2007).

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Blog post

K. Hamilton, “Psychologist On Dating: There Are No Rules Of Attraction When It Comes To Meeting Your Match,” IFLScience, 30 November 2016, <https://www.iflscience.com/brain/psychologist-on-dating-there-are-no-rules-of-attraction-when-it-comes-to-meeting-your-match/> (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, “Guaranteed Student Loans: Lenders’ Interest Billings Often Result in Overpayments,” HRD-88-72, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1988).

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

T. N. Tucker, “Virtual K-12 leadership: A postmodern paradigm,” Doctoral dissertation, Florida Atlantic University (2014).

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

G. Gurley, “Death of a Red Carpet Reporter,” in New York Times, p. D1 (2016).

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

This sentence cites one reference ¹.
This sentence cites two references ^1,2.
This sentence cites four references ^1–4.
