How to format your references using the Teacher Development citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Teacher Development. 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

Maller, James L. 2003. “Signal Transduction. Fishing at the Cell Surface.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 300 (5619): 594–595.

A journal article with 2 authors

Roth, Melissa S., and Dimitri D. Deheyn. 2013. “Effects of Cold Stress and Heat Stress on Coral Fluorescence in Reef-Building Corals.” Scientific Reports 3: 1421.

A journal article with 3 authors

Galdi, Silvia, Luciano Arcuri, and Bertram Gawronski. 2008. “Automatic Mental Associations Predict Future Choices of Undecided Decision-Makers.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 321 (5892): 1100–1102.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

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 Teacher Development.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2014. “Watch Two Astronauts Live On Their Spacewalk Outside The ISS.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/space/watch-two-astronauts-their-spacewalk-outside-iss-live/.

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. 2006. No Child Left Behind Act: States Face Challenges Measuring Academic Growth. GAO-06-948T. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Malkus, Nathaniel. 2012. “Beneath the District Averages: Intradistrict Differences in Teacher Compensation Expenditures.” Doctoral dissertation, College Park, MD: University of Maryland, College Park.

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, Mary. 2010. “Scouting Report.” New York Times, September 30.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Maller 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Maller 2003; Roth and Deheyn 2013).

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

Two authors: (Roth and Deheyn 2013)
Three authors: (Galdi, Arcuri, and Gawronski 2008)
4 or more authors: (Conway et al. 2001)
