How to format your references using the Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS. 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

A. Ohman, “Psychology. Conditioned fear of a face: a prelude to ethnic enmity?,” Science 309(5735), 711–713 (2005).

A journal article with 2 authors

F. Supek and B. Lehner, “Differential DNA mismatch repair underlies mutation rate variation across the human genome,” Nature 521(7550), 81–84 (2015).

A journal article with 3 authors

J. O. Brunkard, A. M. Runkel, and P. C. Zambryski, “Evolution. Comment on ‘A promiscuous intermediate underlies the evolution of LEAFY DNA binding specificity,’” Science 347(6222), 621 (2015).

A journal article with 4 or more authors

R. Cordaux et al., “Genetic evidence for the demic diffusion of agriculture to India,” Science 304(5674), 1125 (2004).

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

H. Radoine, Architecture in Context, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK (2017).

An edited book

M. S. Ahmad, Postharvest Quality Assurance of Fruits: Practical Approaches for Developing Countries, 1st ed. 2015, M. W. Siddiqui, Ed., Springer International Publishing, Cham (2015).

A chapter in an edited book

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 Micro/Nanolithography, MEMS, and MOEMS.

Blog post

J. Davis, “More Refined Blood Test Could Cut Possible Heart Attack Admissions By Two-Thirds,” IFLScience, 8 October 2015 (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, “Federal Aviation Administration: Financial Management Issues,” T-AIMD-99-122, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (1999).

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

A. Baghaei Lakeh, “Approximate Analytical Solutions of a Generalized van der Pol Oscillator,” Doctoral dissertation, Southern Illinois University (2013).

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

J. Gorman, “Male Cuttlefish Tangle in Rare Physical Conflict,” in New York Times, p. D4 (2017).

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.
