How to format your references using the Neurology and Therapy citation style

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

1. Stone EC. Planetary science. News from the edge of interstellar space. Science. 2001;293:55–6.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Galarreta M, Hestrin S. Spike transmission and synchrony detection in networks of GABAergic interneurons. Science. 2001;292:2295–9.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Kearns M, Suri S, Montfort N. An experimental study of the coloring problem on human subject networks. Science. 2006;313:824–7.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Lee R, Kermani P, Teng KK, Hempstead BL. Regulation of cell survival by secreted proneurotrophins. Science. 2001;294:1945–8.

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".

New York Times article

1. Kishkovsky S. Russian Writer, Facing Charges, Warns Free Expression Is at Risk. New York Times. 2002 Jul 16;A7.
