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

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

Cook, Diane J. (2012), “Computer science. How smart is your home?,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 335 (6076), 1579–81.

A journal article with 2 authors

Nacher, Jose C. and Tatsuya Akutsu (2013), “Structural controllability of unidirectional bipartite networks,” Scientific reports, 3, 1647.

A journal article with 3 authors

Fuchs, Benedikt, Didier Sornette, and Stefan Thurner (2014), “Fractal multi-level organisation of human groups in a virtual world,” Scientific reports, 4, 6526.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Hao, Qi, Deyang Du, Chenxi Wang, Wan Li, Hao Huang, Jiaqi Li, Teng Qiu, and Paul K. Chu (2014), “Plasmon-induced broadband fluorescence enhancement on Al-Ag bimetallic substrates,” Scientific reports, 4, 6014.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Blog post

Fang, Janet (2014), “Make Your Own Droplet Microscope Lens for a Penny,” IFLScience, IFLScience, (accessed October 30, 2018), [available at https://www.iflscience.com/technology/make-your-own-droplet-microscope-lens-penny/].

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 (2015), “Aviation Finance: Observations on the Effects of Budget Uncertainty on FAA,” 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

Lai, Ju-Ping (2008), “Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog Deleted on Chromosome Ten (PTEN) As A Molecular Target in Lung Epithelial Wound Repair and Protection,” Doctoral dissertation, Columbus, OH: Ohio State 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

Greenhouse, Linda (2007), “Justices Will Decide if Handgun Kept at Home Is Individual Right,” New York Times, A1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Cook 2012).
This sentence cites two references (Cook 2012; Nacher and Akutsu 2013).

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

Two authors: (Nacher and Akutsu 2013)
Three authors: (Fuchs, Sornette, and Thurner 2014)
4 or more authors: (Hao et al. 2014)
