This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Magnetochemistry. 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

Reichhardt, T. Touched by an Angel. Nature 2005, 435, 734–735.

A journal article with 2 authors

Robbins, D.W.; Hartwig, J.F. A Simple, Multidimensional Approach to High-Throughput Discovery of Catalytic Reactions. Science 2011, 333, 1423–1427.

A journal article with 3 authors

Mayadas, A.F.; Bourne, J.; Bacsich, P. Online Education Today. Science 2009, 323, 85–89.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Kumar, A.; Godwin, J.W.; Gates, P.B.; Garza-Garcia, A.A.; Brockes, J.P. Molecular Basis for the Nerve Dependence of Limb Regeneration in an Adult Vertebrate. Science 2007, 318, 772–777.

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 FAA Information Technology: Complete Cost Data Not Provided to OMB; U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC, 1991;
