How to format your references using the Numerische Mathematik citation style

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

Clayton, J.: RNA interference: the silent treatment. Nature. 431, 599–605 (2004)

A journal article with 2 authors

Wäsch, R., Cross, F.R.: APC-dependent proteolysis of the mitotic cyclin Clb2 is essential for mitotic exit. Nature. 418, 556–562 (2002)

A journal article with 3 authors

Heuberger, M., Zäch, M., Spencer, N.D.: Density fluctuations under confinement: when is a fluid not a fluid? Science. 292, 905–908 (2001)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Li, B., Yu, J.P.J., Brunzelle, J.S., Moll, G.N., van der Donk, W.A., Nair, S.K.: Structure and mechanism of the lantibiotic cyclase involved in nisin biosynthesis. Science. 311, 1464–1467 (2006)

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Tardu, S.: Statistical Approach to Wall Turbulence. John Wiley & Sons, Inc, Hoboken, NJ (2011)

An edited book

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: FAA Computer Security: Concerns Remain Due to Personnel and Other Continuing Weaknesses. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (2000)

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Gleason, R.: Nanosphere lithography applied to magnetic thin films, (2013)

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

Greenhouse, L.: My Florida Recount Memory: Talking Justice, (2010)

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].
