How to format your references using the Schizophrenia Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Schizophrenia 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	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

DeWeerdt, S., 2011. Food: The omnivore’s labyrinth. Nature 471, S22-4.

A journal article with 2 authors

Heinrich, A., Loth, S., 2011. Physics. A logical use for atoms. Science 332, 1039–1040.

A journal article with 3 authors

Hauke, P., Tagliacozzo, L., Lewenstein, M., 2012. Physics. Speeding up quantum field theories. Science 336, 1122–1123.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Web sites

Blog post

Andrews, R., 2017. Scientist’s Anti-Wave Guns Could Shrink Tsunamis By 30 Percent [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/environment/antiwave-guns-shrink-tsunamis-30-percent/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 1991. Airline Competition: Pending Legislation Helps to Address Serious Competitive Problems (No. T-RCED-91-54). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Johnson, B.D., 2017. Application of systems engineering principles for analysis of utility baseline development process (Doctoral dissertation). California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA.

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

Crow, K., 2002. The Bus Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore. New York Times 147.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (DeWeerdt, 2011).
This sentence cites two references (DeWeerdt, 2011; Heinrich and Loth, 2011).

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

Two authors: (Heinrich and Loth, 2011)
Three or more authors: (Lee et al., 2009)
