How to format your references using the Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science. 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

Hynes, Richard O. 2003. “Structural Biology. Changing Partners.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 300 (5620): 755–756.

A journal article with 2 authors

Boots, Michael, and Michael Mealor. 2007. “Local Interactions Select for Lower Pathogen Infectivity.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 315 (5816): 1284–1286.

A journal article with 3 authors

Moreira, D., H. Le Guyader, and H. Philippe. 2000. “The Origin of Red Algae and the Evolution of Chloroplasts.” Nature 405 (6782): 69–72.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Zheng, Huaibin, Xun Zhang, Zhaoyang Zhang, Yaling Tian, Haixia Chen, Changbiao Li, and Yanpeng Zhang. 2013. “Parametric Amplification and Cascaded-Nonlinearity Processes in Common Atomic System.” Scientific Reports 3: 1885.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

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 Theoretical Issues in Ergonomics Science.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. 2014. “Meet The Mice Whose Brains Are Part Human.” IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/brain/mice-part-human-brains-are-smarter-their-peers/.

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. 1980. A Look at NASA’s Aircraft Energy Efficiency Program. PSAD-80-50. 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

Yaudes, Kevin L. 2017. “Change Your Category, Change Your Mind: The Mutability of Folk Models of Mental Health Disorders.” Doctoral dissertation, Lafayette, LA: University of Louisiana.

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, Kelly. 2003. “In the East Village, an Unusual Bid to Fix Up a Firehouse . . .” New York Times, January 19.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Hynes 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Hynes 2003; Boots and Mealor 2007).

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

Two authors: (Boots and Mealor 2007)
Three authors: (Moreira, Le Guyader, and Philippe 2000)
4 or more authors: (Zheng et al. 2013)
