How to format your references using the Structural Change and Economic Dynamics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Structural Change and Economic Dynamics. 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

Hamer, D., 2002. Genetics. Rethinking behavior genetics. Science 298, 71–72.

A journal article with 2 authors

Tenopir, C., King, D.W., 2001. Lessons for the future of journals. Nature 413, 672–674.

A journal article with 3 authors

Parvanov, E.D., Petkov, P.M., Paigen, K., 2010. Prdm9 controls activation of mammalian recombination hotspots. Science 327, 835.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Trotman, L.C., Alimonti, A., Scaglioni, P.P., Koutcher, J.A., Cordon-Cardo, C., Pandolfi, P.P., 2006. Identification of a tumour suppressor network opposing nuclear Akt function. Nature 441, 523–527.

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, 2007. Telecommunications: FCC Should Take Steps to Ensure Equal Access to Rulemaking Information (No. GAO-07-1046). 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

Choubey, L., 2015. Quantitative Assessment of Fgfr1 Expression in Neurons and Glia of the Developing Mouse Brain (Doctoral dissertation). University of Louisiana, Lafayette, LA.

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

Kelly, D., 1994. Sex and Drugs and Mick and Keith. New York Times 737.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Hamer, 2002).
This sentence cites two references (Hamer, 2002; Tenopir and King, 2001).

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

Two authors: (Tenopir and King, 2001)
Three or more authors: (Trotman et al., 2006)
