How to format your references using the Journal of International Marketing citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of International Marketing (JIM). 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

Kleindienst, Tadeusz E. (2009), “Chemistry. Epoxying isoprene chemistry,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 325 (5941), 687–88.

A journal article with 2 authors

Kelley, Douglas H. and Nicholas T. Ouellette (2013), “Emergent dynamics of laboratory insect swarms,” Scientific reports, 3, 1073.

A journal article with 3 authors

Cossart, Rosa, Dmitriy Aronov, and Rafael Yuste (2003), “Attractor dynamics of network UP states in the neocortex,” Nature, 423 (6937), 283–88.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Petreanu, Leopoldo, Tianyi Mao, Scott M. Sternson, and Karel Svoboda (2009), “The subcellular organization of neocortical excitatory connections,” Nature, 457 (7233), 1142–45.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise (2015), “Why The Hubble Space Telescope Has Been Such A Stellar Success,” IFLScience, IFLScience, (accessed October 30, 2018), [available at https://www.iflscience.com/space/why-hubble-space-telescope-has-been-such-stellar-success/].

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 (1999), “Year 2000 Computing Challenge: Noteworthy Improvements in Readiness But Vulnerabilities Remain,” 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

Zhang, Gongliang (2010), “Roles of serotonin 2A receptor in a serotonin syndrome,” Doctoral dissertation, Boca Raton, FL: Florida Atlantic 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

Kelly, Christopher (2012), “Linking History and Fortunes of a City and a Team,” New York Times, A29B.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Kleindienst 2009).
This sentence cites two references (Kelley and Ouellette 2013; Kleindienst 2009).

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

Two authors: (Kelley and Ouellette 2013)
Three authors: (Cossart, Aronov, and Yuste 2003)
4 or more authors: (Petreanu et al. 2009)
