How to format your references using the Yeast citation style

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

C Clarke SA. 2000. Stranger than science fiction. Science, 289: 727.

A journal article with 2 authors

de Vernal A, Hillaire-Marcel C. 2008. Natural variability of Greenland climate, vegetation, and ice volume during the past million years. Science, 320: 1622–1625.

A journal article with 3 authors

Exadaktylos F, Espín AM, Brañas-Garza P. 2013. Experimental subjects are not different. Sci. Rep., 3: 1213.

A journal article with 10 or more authors

Hart DO, Raha T, Lawson ND, Green MR. 2007. Initiation of zebrafish haematopoiesis by the TATA-box-binding protein-related factor Trf3. Nature, 450: 1082–1085.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Luther GW III. 2016. Inorganic Chemistry for Geochemistry and Environmental Sciences. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd: Chichester, UK.

An edited book

Bourassa MG, Tardif J-C. (eds). 2006. Antioxidants and Cardiovascular Disease. Second Edition. Springer US: Boston, MA.

A chapter in an edited book

Nagnibeda E, Kustova E. 2009. Multi-Temperature Models in Transport and Relaxation Theory. In Non-Equilibrium Reacting Gas Flows: Kinetic Theory of Transport and Relaxation Processes, Kustova E. (ed). Springer: Berlin, Heidelberg; 55–95.

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 Yeast.

Blog post

Luntz S. 2015. Venus May Have Had Oceans Of Carbon Dioxide. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/space/venus-may-have-had-oceans-carbon-dioxide/ (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. 1979. Developing a Domestic Common Carrier Telecommunications Policy: What Are the Issues? U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Thomas EM. 2016. Perceptions of educational leaders’ efficacy and leadership capacity upon preliminary administrative credential completion at California State University, Long Beach. Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach: Long Beach, CA.

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

Hodgman J. 2017. Bonus Advice From Judge John Hodgman. New York Times, February 3.
