How to format your references using the Managing Leisure citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Managing Leisure. For a complete guide how to prepare your manuscript refer to the journal's instructions to authors.

Using reference management software

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

Geiger, B. (2001). Cell biology. Encounters in space. Science (New York, N.Y.), 294(5547), 1661–1663.

A journal article with 2 authors

Razzell, W., & Martin, P. (2012). Cell biology. Embryonic clutch control. Science (New York, N.Y.), 335(6073), 1181–1182.

A journal article with 3 authors

Larsen, R. E., Glover, W. J., & Schwartz, B. J. (2010). Does the hydrated electron occupy a cavity? Science (New York, N.Y.), 329(5987), 65–69.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Yokosaka, T., Iizuka, H., Yonemura, T., Kondo, D., Ando, H., & Maeda, T. (2014). Alternating images of congruent and incongruent movement creates the illusion of agency. Scientific Reports, 4, 6201.

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".

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

Wagner, J. (2016, September 25). Mets Bombard Phillies Before Starting Trip to End Season, or Extend It. New York Times, D2.
