How to format your references using the Journal of Engineering and Technology Management citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of Engineering and Technology Management. 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

Cepko, C., 2010. Neuroscience. Seeing the light of day. Science 329, 403–404.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ramocki, M.B., Zoghbi, H.Y., 2008. Failure of neuronal homeostasis results in common neuropsychiatric phenotypes. Nature 455, 912–918.

A journal article with 3 authors

Beachy, P.A., Karhadkar, S.S., Berman, D.M., 2004. Mending and malignancy. Nature 431, 402.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Zuo, Y., Yang, G., Kwon, E., Gan, W.-B., 2005. Long-term sensory deprivation prevents dendritic spine loss in primary somatosensory cortex. Nature 436, 261–265.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Kenny, T., 2014. The Nuts and Bolts of Implantable Device Therapy Pacemakers. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK.

An edited book

Szende, A., Janssen, B., Cabases, J. (Eds.), 2014. Self-Reported Population Health: An International Perspective based on EQ-5D. Springer Netherlands, Dordrecht.

A chapter in an edited book

Inderbitzin, M., Walraven, T., Anderson, J., 2016. Leading by Example: Ways That Prisoners Give Back to Their Communities, in: Abrams, L.S., Hughes, E., Inderbitzin, M., Meek, R. (Eds.), The Voluntary Sector in Prisons: Encouraging Personal and Institutional Change. Palgrave Macmillan US, New York, NY, pp. 85–114.

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 Journal of Engineering and Technology Management.

Blog post

Andrew, E., 2014. Russian Scientists Explore Mysterious Siberian Hole [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/environment/russian-scientists-explore-mysterious-siberian-hole/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1978. Navigation Planning: Need for a New Direction (No. LCD-77-109). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Jha, J.S., 2013. [3+2] Cycloaddition Reaction of Gem-Dicyanoepoxide and Electrophilic Reaction of Ethyl Atropate (Doctoral dissertation). Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL.

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

Kenigsberg, B., 2017. 6 Days. New York Times C9.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Cepko, 2010).
This sentence cites two references (Cepko, 2010; Ramocki and Zoghbi, 2008).

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

Two authors: (Ramocki and Zoghbi, 2008)
Three or more authors: (Zuo et al., 2005)
