How to format your references using the Radiography citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Radiography (RADI). 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

Schratt G. Neurobiology: a molecular knife to dice depression. Nature 2014;516(7529):45–6.

A journal article with 2 authors

Gutierrez MP., Lee LP. Engineering. Multiscale design and integration of sustainable building functions. Science 2013;341(6143):247–8.

A journal article with 3 authors

Smith J., Van Dyken JD., Zee PC. A generalization of Hamilton’s rule for the evolution of microbial cooperation. Science 2010;328(5986):1700–3.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Parkes RJ., Webster G., Cragg BA., Weightman AJ., Newberry CJ., Ferdelman TG., et al. Deep sub-seafloor prokaryotes stimulated at interfaces over geological time. Nature 2005;436(7049):390–4.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Nazarov VE., Radostin AV. Nonlinear Acoustic Waves in Micro-inhomogeneous Solids, Chichester, UK: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd; 2014.

An edited book

Ritsner MS., Awad AG. Quality of Life Impairment in Schizophrenia, Mood and Anxiety Disorders: New Perspectives on Research and Treatment, Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands; 2007.

A chapter in an edited book

Hellermann G., Mohapatra S. Respiratory Syncytial Virus. In: Shapshak P, Sinnott JT, Somboonwit C, and Kuhn JH, editors. Global Virology I - Identifying and Investigating Viral Diseases, New York, NY: Springer; 2015, p. 73–92.

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 Radiography.

Blog post

Andrew E. Are We Eating Too Much Arsenic? We Need Better Tests To Know. IFLScience. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/are-we-eating-too-much-arsenic-we-need-better-tests-know/ [accessed October 30, 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

Government Accountability Office. National Airspace System: Comprehensive FAA Plan for Global Positioning System Is Needed, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1995.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Chen AP. An efficient algorithm for calculating fluctuation field and simulating the thermal magnetic aftereffect. Doctoral dissertation, George Washington University, Washington, DC, 2008.

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

Yablonsky L. “Caligula” Gives a Toga Party (But No One’s Really Invited). New York Times 2006:234.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

This sentence cites one reference ¹.
This sentence cites two references ^1,2.
This sentence cites four references ^1–4.
