How to format your references using the Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications NoDEA citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications NoDEA. 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

Oxtoby, D.W.: Phase transitions. Catching crystals at birth. Nature. 406, 464–465 (2000)

A journal article with 2 authors

Ye, B., Cramer, N.: Chiral cyclopentadienyl ligands as stereocontrolling element in asymmetric C-H functionalization. Science. 338, 504–506 (2012)

A journal article with 3 authors

Shiu, R.-F., Chin, W.-C., Lee, C.-L.: Carbonaceous particles reduce marine microgel formation. Sci. Rep. 4, 5856 (2014)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Rasmann, S., Köllner, T.G., Degenhardt, J., Hiltpold, I., Toepfer, S., Kuhlmann, U., Gershenzon, J., Turlings, T.C.J.: Recruitment of entomopathogenic nematodes by insect-damaged maize roots. Nature. 434, 732–737 (2005)

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Schwedt, G.: Experimente rund um die Kunststoffe des Alltags. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim, Germany (2013)

An edited book

De Gloria, A. ed: Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society: APPLEPIES 2014. Springer International Publishing, Cham (2016)

A chapter in an edited book

Velázquez, A., Medina García, C., Durán Medina, E., Amador, A., Gopar Merino, L.F.: SECLAVEMEX Aimed at Integrating Land-cover and Vegetation Mapping. In: Medina García, C., Durán Medina, E., Amador, A., and Gopar Merino, L.F. (eds.) Standardized Hierarchical Vegetation Classification: Mexican and Global Patterns. pp. 75–88. Springer International Publishing, Cham (2016)

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 Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications NoDEA.

Blog post

Andrew, D.: A Geologist Has Found Part Of A Lost Ocean That Existed Long Before The Atlantic, https://www.iflscience.com/environment/a-geologist-has-found-part-of-a-lost-ocean-that-existed-long-before-the-atlantic/

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: Space Shuttle: Costs for Hubble Servicing Mission and Implementation of Safety Recommendations Not Yet Definitive. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (2004)

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Evans, M.D.: A Correlational Analysis of Teacher Observation Scores and Student Achievement, (2014)

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

Erlanger, S., Davis, J.H.: Once Dominant, U.S. Is Now Isolated at G-20, (2017)

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].
