How to format your references using the Neuropsychological Rehabilitation citation style

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

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most references management programs.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
van Swinderen, B. (2007). Attention-like processes in Drosophila require short-term memory genes. Science (New York, N.Y.), 315(5818), 1590–1593.
A journal article with 2 authors
Fesik, S. W., & Shi, Y. (2001). Structural biology. Controlling the caspases. Science (New York, N.Y.), 294(5546), 1477–1478.
A journal article with 3 authors
Lee, S.-H., Kwan, A. C., & Dan, Y. (2014). Interneuron subtypes and orientation tuning. Nature, 508(7494), E1-2.
A journal article with 21 or more authors
Dror, I., Amitay, T., Yaron, B., & Berkowitz, B. (2003). Salt-pump mechanism for contaminant intrusion into coastal aquifers. Science (New York, N.Y.), 300(5621), 950.

Books and book chapters

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

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 Neuropsychological Rehabilitation.

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
Government Accountability Office. (1999). Small Business Administration: Enhancements Needed for Loan Monitoring System Benchmark Study (AIMD-99-165). U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation
Li, X. (2008). Two essays on “mining market basket data: Models and applications in marketing” [Doctoral dissertation]. George Washington University.

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
Nossiter, A. (2007, September 28). Rare Supreme Court Stay Halts a Texas Execution. New York Times, A18.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by name and year in parentheses:

This sentence cites one reference (van Swinderen, 2007).
This sentence cites two references (Fesik & Shi, 2001; van Swinderen, 2007).

Here are examples of in-text citations with multiple authors:

  • Two authors: (Fesik & Shi, 2001)
  • Three or more authors: (Dror et al., 2003)
