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

Montgomery, J.: Chemistry. High-throughput discovery of new chemical reactions. Science. 333, 1387–1388 (2011)

A journal article with 2 authors

Vaughn, D., Strathmann, R.R.: Predators induce cloning in echinoderm larvae. Science. 319, 1503 (2008)

A journal article with 3 authors

Bauer, P., Thorpe, A., Brunet, G.: The quiet revolution of numerical weather prediction. Nature. 525, 47–55 (2015)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Gulde, S., Riebe, M., Lancaster, G.P.T., Becher, C., Eschner, J., Häffner, H., Schmidt-Kaler, F., Chuang, I.L., Blatt, R.: Implementation of the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm on an ion-trap quantum computer. Nature. 421, 48–50 (2003)

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Simpkins, A.M., Simpkins, C.A.: Meditation and Yoga in Psychotherapy. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ (2010)

An edited book

Biondi-Zoccai, G. ed: Umbrella Reviews: Evidence Synthesis with Overviews of Reviews and Meta-Epidemiologic Studies. Springer International Publishing, Cham (2016)

A chapter in an edited book

Robertson, S.: The Web, the Home and the Search Engine. In: Harper, R. (ed.) The Connected Home: The Future of Domestic Life. pp. 79–91. Springer, London (2011)

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

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: Freight Railroads: Industry Health Has Improved, but Concerns about Competition and Capacity Should Be Addressed. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (2006)

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Karmacharya, B.: Population Dynamics of Northern Cardinal and Carolina Wren in an Urban Forest Fragment: Safe Refuge or Ecological Trap?, (2015)

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

Vecsey, G.: Yankees’ Old Ways Catch Up With Them, (2012)

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].
