How to format your references using the Aerosol Science and Technology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Aerosol Science and Technology. 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 reference managers.
BibTeX	BibTeX styles 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

Olby, R. (2003). Quiet debut for the double helix. Nature 421 (6921):402–405.

A journal article with 2 authors

Hanson, B. and Voss, D. (2007). Sunrise. Introduction. Hinode. Science 318 (5856):1571.

A journal article with 3 authors

Mahadevan, A., Thomas, L.N., and Tandon, A. (2008). Comment on “Eddy/wind interactions stimulate extraordinary mid-ocean plankton blooms.” Science 320 (5875):448; author reply 448.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Dussutour, A., Fourcassié, V., Helbing, D., and Deneubourg, J.-L. (2004). Optimal traffic organization in ants under crowded conditions. Nature 428 (6978):70–73.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Holsclaw, G. (2016). Transcending Subjects. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK.

An edited book

A chapter in an edited book

Simmons, G. (2013). Filovirus Entry., in Viral Entry into Host Cells, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology, S. Pöhlmann, G. Simmons, eds, Springer, New York, NY, pp. 83–94.

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 Aerosol Science and Technology.

Blog post

Fang, J. (2014). Astronomers Have Mapped Our Adolescent Universe in 3DIFLScience. Available at https://www.iflscience.com/space/astronomers-have-mapped-our-adolescent-universe-3d/ (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 (1984). U.S. Citizens Studying Medicine Abroad (No. 125770). 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

Mitchell, J.E. (2009). Job satisfaction and burnout among foreign -trained nurses in Saudi Arabia: A mixed-method study (Doctoral dissertation). University of Phoenix, Phoenix, AZ.

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

Leland, J. (2017). Dog Show? Whatever. New York Times MB8.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Olby 2003).
This sentence cites two references (Hanson and Voss 2007; Olby 2003).

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

Two authors: (Hanson and Voss 2007)
Three or more authors: (Dussutour et al. 2004)
