How to format your references using the Signal, Image and Video Processing citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Signal, Image and Video Processing. 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

Pollitzer, E.: Biology: Cell sex matters. Nature. 500, 23–24 (2013)

A journal article with 2 authors

Smaglik, P., Frantz, S.: The biotechnology sector’s craving for commercial expertise is fuelling a cultural exchange with drug industry. Nature. 422, 542–543 (2003)

A journal article with 3 authors

Núñez, L., Grosjean, M., Cartajena, I.: Human occupations and climate change in the Puna de Atacama, Chile. Science. 298, 821–824 (2002)

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Jacques, V., Wu, E., Grosshans, F., Treussart, F., Grangier, P., Aspect, A., Roch, J.-F.: Experimental realization of Wheeler’s delayed-choice gedanken experiment. Science. 315, 966–968 (2007)

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

A chapter in an edited book

Smart Card Research and Advanced Applications: 13th International Conference, CARDIS 2014, Paris, France, November 5-7, 2014. Revised Selected Papers. pp. 64–81. Springer International Publishing, Cham (2015)

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 Signal, Image and Video Processing.

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: Electronic Government: Additional OMB Leadership Needed to Optimize Use of New Federal Employee Identification Cards. U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC (2008)

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1, 2].
