How to format your references using the Thrombosis and Haemostasis citation style

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

Abbott A. Science in culture: Visual zoology. Historical wall charts found in Pavia. Nature 2003; 421: 580.

A journal article with 2 authors

Ischenko AA, Saparbaev MK. Alternative nucleotide incision repair pathway for oxidative DNA damage. Nature 2002; 415: 183–7.

A journal article with 3 authors
