How to format your references using the User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction (UMUAI). 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

Zakamska, Nadia L.: 2010. 'H(2) emission arises outside photodissociation regions in ultraluminous infrared galaxies.' Nature 465(7294), pp. 60–63.

A journal article with 2 authors

Poulet, James F. A., and Berthold Hedwig.: 2006. 'The cellular basis of a corollary discharge.' Science (New York, N.Y.) 311(5760), pp. 518–522.

A journal article with 3 authors

Zikherman, Julie, Ramya Parameswaran, and Arthur Weiss.: 2012. 'Endogenous antigen tunes the responsiveness of naive B cells but not T cells.' Nature 489(7414), pp. 160–164.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Struck, Torsten H., Christiane Paul, Natascha Hill, et al.: 2011. 'Phylogenomic analyses unravel annelid evolution.' Nature 471(7336), pp. 95–98.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Metzger, Robert M.: 2012. 'The Physical Chemist’s Toolbox.' Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

Patt-Shamir, Boaz, and Tınaz Ekim, eds.: 2010. 'Structural Information and Communication Complexity: 17th International Colloquium, SIROCCO 2010, Şirince, Turkey, June 7-11, 2010. Proceedings.' Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Ploussard, Guillaume, Andras Hoznek, Laurent Salomon, et al.: 2011. 'Retroperitoneoscopic Simple and Radical Nephrectomy'. In Retroperitoneal Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery: The Extraperitoneal Approach, eds. Jean V. Joseph and Hitendra R. H. Patel. London: Springer pp. 49–59.

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 User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise.: 2015. 'Terminator-Style 3D Printer Materializes Objects From Pools Of Liquid.' IFLScience. Available at: https://www.iflscience.com/technology/terminator-style-3d-printer-materializes-objects-pools-liquid/ [Accessed October 30, 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.: 1989. 'Customs Automation: Cargo Examinations Targeted by Automated Cargo Selectivity System.' 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

Immaneni, Raghu Nandan.: 2015. 'An efficient approach to machine learning based text classification through distributed computing.'

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

Marx, Linda.: 2012. 'Jenna Miranda and Mitch Meyers.' New York Times, pp. ST10.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Zakamska 2010).
This sentence cites two references (Zakamska 2010; Poulet & Hedwig 2006).

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

Two authors: (Poulet & Hedwig 2006)
Three or more authors: (Struck et al. 2011)
