How to format your references using the Transport citation style

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

Burns, J.A. 2014. Solar system: Ring in the new, Nature 508(7494): 48–49.

A journal article with 2 authors

Münck, E.; Bominaar, E.L. 2008. Chemistry. Bringing stability to highly reduced iron-sulfur clusters, Science (New York, N.Y.) 321(5895): 1452–1453.

A journal article with 3 authors

Blog post

Andrews, R. 2016. What Exactly Is A Super-Recognizer? IFLScience, 9 November 2016. Available at https://www.iflscience.com/brain/exactly-is-superrecognizer/ [Last accessed 30 October 2018].

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 1993. Space Shuttle Main Engine: NASA Has Not Evaluated the Alternate Fuel Turbopump Costs and Benefits.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Koh, S.A. 2010. A comparison of treatment integrity assessment methods for behavioral intervention. Doctoral dissertation. Tucson, AZ: University of Arizona.

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

Kolata, G.; Longman, J.; Pilon, M. 2013. Saving Lives, if Not Legs, With No Time to Fret. New York Times A1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Burns 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Burns 2014; Münck, Bominaar 2008).

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