How to format your references using the Processing and Application of Ceramics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Processing and Application of Ceramics. 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.
EndNoteFind the style here: output styles overview
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
[1]
P. Smaglik, “The fame game,” Nature 428, [6981] (2004) 447.
A journal article with 2 authors
[1]
A. J. Weaver and F. W. Zwiers, “Uncertainty in climate change,” Nature 407, [6804] (2000) 571.
A journal article with 3 authors
[1]
T. S. Bibby, J. Nield and J. Barber, “Iron deficiency induces the formation of an antenna ring around trimeric photosystem I in cyanobacteria,” Nature 412, [6848] (2001) 743.
A journal article with 10 or more authors
[1]
D. Genoux, U. Haditsch, M. Knobloch, A. Michalon, D. Storm and I. M. Mansuy, “Protein phosphatase 1 is a molecular constraint on learning and memory,” Nature 418, [6901] (2002) 970.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

F. Taroni, A. Biedermann, S. Bozza, P. Garbolino and C. Aitken, Bayesian Networks for Probabilistic Inference and Decision Analysis in Forensic Science, John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK, (2014).
An edited book

A chapter in an edited book
[1]
F. Esposito, N. Fanizzi and C. d’Amato, “Conceptual Clustering Applied to Ontologies,” in Mining Complex Data: ECML/PKDD 2007 Third International Workshop, MCD 2007, Warsaw, Poland, September 17-21, 2007, Revised Selected Papers, Z. W. Raś, S. Tsumoto, and D. Zighed, Eds., Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, (2008).

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 Processing and Application of Ceramics.

Blog post
[1]
J. Fang, “The Same Gene Blackens Moths And Colors Butterflies,” IFLScience, IFLScience, (2016)https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/one-gene-blackens-moths-and-colors-butterflies/ (30 October 2018).

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, “Armored Systems Modernization: Program Inconsistent With Current Threat and Budgetary Constraints,” NSIAD-91-254, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, (1991).

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation
[1]
X. Zhang, “Electroweak interactions and the delta resonance in a chiral effective field theory for nuclei,” Doctoral dissertation, Indiana University, (2012).

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
[1]
M. W. Walsh, “Senate Report Says Caterpillar Used Swiss Subsidiary to Reduce Taxes,” in New York Times, (2014).

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].
