How to format your references using the Regenerative Medicine Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Regenerative Medicine Research. 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

1. Pan H. Metal dichalcogenides monolayers: novel catalysts for electrochemical hydrogen production. Sci Rep. 2014;4:5348.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Johnson JP Jr, Zagotta WN. Rotational movement during cyclic nucleotide-gated channel opening. Nature. 2001;412:917–21.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Sha WEI, Li X, Choy WCH. Breaking the space charge limit in organic solar cells by a novel plasmonic-electrical concept. Sci Rep. 2014;4:6236.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Schliehe C, Juarez BH, Pelletier M, Jander S, Greshnykh D, Nagel M, et al. Ultrathin PbS sheets by two-dimensional oriented attachment. Science. 2010;329:550–3.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1. Breitmaier E. Vom NMR-Spektrum zur Strukturformel organischer Verbindungen. Weinheim, Germany: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA; 2005.

An edited book

1. Tan KC. Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms and Applications. Khor EF, Lee TH, editors. London: Springer; 2005.

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 Regenerative Medicine Research.

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

1. Government Accountability Office. FCC: Interconnection and Resale Obligations Pertaining to Commercial Mobile Radio Services. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1996 Aug. Report No.: OGC-96-32.

Theses and dissertations

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