How to format your references using the Psychoneuroendocrinology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Psychoneuroendocrinology. 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	Download the output style file
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

Bohannon, J., 2015. Scientific societies. Torture report prompts APA apology. Science 349, 221–222.

A journal article with 2 authors

Hudson, Z.M., Manners, I., 2014. Chemistry. Assembly and disassembly of ferrocene-based nanotubes. Science 344, 482–483.

A journal article with 3 authors

Chen, Y., Peng, R., You, Z., 2015. APPLIED ORIGAMI. Origami of thick panels. Science 349, 396–400.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

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, 1998. Year 2000 Computing Crisis: Strong Leadership and Partnerships Needed to Mitigate Risk of Major Disruptions (No. T-AIMD-98-262). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Doctoral dissertation

Bockler, T., 2014. Legal advocacy program for low-income children with disabilities: A grant proposal (Doctoral dissertation). California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA.

News paper articles

New York Times article

Walsh, M.W., 2015. Rebooting Pensions. New York Times F14.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Bohannon, 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Bohannon, 2015; Hudson and Manners, 2014).

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

Two authors: (Hudson and Manners, 2014)
