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

Riley P. Journal club. A molecular cardiologist looks into getting to the heart of his inner fish. Nature 2009;460(7259):1061.

A journal article with 2 authors

Jordan MJT., Kable SH. Chemistry. Roaming reaction pathways along excited states. Science 2012;335(6072):1054–5.

A journal article with 3 authors

Yamashita YM., Jones DL., Fuller MT. Orientation of asymmetric stem cell division by the APC tumor suppressor and centrosome. Science 2003;301(5639):1547–50.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

Petruk S., Sedkov Y., Smith S., Tillib S., Kraevski V., Nakamura T., et al. Trithorax and dCBP acting in a complex to maintain expression of a homeotic gene. Science 2001;294(5545):1331–4.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Mazze RS., Strock ES., Bergenstal RM., Criego A., Cuddihy R., Langer O., et al. Staged Diabetes Management, Oxford, UK: Wiley-Blackwell; 2011.

An edited book

Agarwal AK., Pandey A., Gupta AK., Aggarwal SK., Kushari A. Novel Combustion Concepts for Sustainable Energy Development, New Delhi: Springer India; 2014.

A chapter in an edited book

Bertoni CM. Quantum Description of the Matter-Radiation Interaction. In: Mobilio S, Boscherini F, and Meneghini C, editors. Synchrotron Radiation: Basics, Methods and Applications, Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer; 2015, p. 145–78.

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

Fang J. Japanese Black Bears Are Ecosystem Engineers, Bringing Light Into Forests. IFLScience. Available from: https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/japanese-black-bears-are-ecosystem-engineers-bringing-light-forests/ [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. For-Profit Schools: Large Schools and Schools that Specialize in Healthcare Are More Likely to Rely Heavily on Federal Student Aid, Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 2010.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Deise EC. Frame problems, Fodor’s challenge, and practical reason. Doctoral dissertation, University of Maryland, College Park, College Park, MD, 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

Billard M. Silver Jubilee. New York Times 2010:E6.

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.
