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. van Nimwegen E. Epidemiology. Influenza escapes immunity along neutral networks. Science. 2006;314:1884–6.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Meyer E, Glatzel T. Applied physics. Novel probes for molecular electronics. Science. 2009;324:1397–8.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Poulsen CJ, Tabor C, White JD. CLIMATE CHANGE. Long-term climate forcing by atmospheric oxygen concentrations. Science. 2015;348:1238–41.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Labrador M, Mongelard F, Plata-Rengifo P, Baxter EM, Corces VG, Gerasimova TI. Protein encoding by both DNA strands. Nature. 2001;409:1000.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1. Riegel M, Kroeselberg D, Chindapol A, Premec D. Deploying Mobile WiMAX. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2009.

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 Neurology and Therapy.

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

1. Government Accountability Office. Telecommunications: Enhanced Data Collection Could Help FCC Better Monitor Competition in the Wireless Industry. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 2010 Jul. Report No.: GAO-10-779.

Theses and dissertations

New York Times article

1. Dynarski S. A Conveyor Belt of Dropouts and Debt. New York Times. 2016 Oct 28;BU6.

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].
