How to format your references using the Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of Mathematical Fluid Mechanics. 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 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

Robock, A.: Pinatubo eruption. The climatic aftermath. Science. 295, 1242–1244 (2002)

A journal article with 2 authors

Gros, J., Tabin, C.J.: Vertebrate limb bud formation is initiated by localized epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Science. 343, 1253–1256 (2014)

A journal article with 3 authors

Samokhvalov, A.V., Shekhter, R.I., Buzdin, A.I.: Stimulation of a singlet superconductivity in SFS weak links by spin-exchange scattering of cooper pairs. Sci. Rep. 4, 5671 (2014)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Maharjan, S., Oku, M., Tsuda, M., Hoseki, J., Sakai, Y.: Mitochondrial impairment triggers cytosolic oxidative stress and cell death following proteasome inhibition. Sci. Rep. 4, 5896 (2014)

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Springer International Publishing, Cham (2014)

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 Mathematical Fluid Mechanics.

Blog post

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: Electronic Government: Planned e-Authentication Gateway Faces Formidable Development Challenges. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (2003)

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Rangwala, R.: The Role of the PDZ Protein, Erbin, in Schwann Cells, (2005)

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

Paulson, M.: Jonathan Groff to Sing Bobby Darin Songs, (2017)

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

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