How to format your references using the Architectural Engineering and Design Management citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Architectural Engineering and Design Management. 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:

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most reference managers.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Flannery, T. (2001). Geology. North American devastation or global cataclysm? Science (New York, N.Y.), 294(5547), 1668–1669.
A journal article with 2 authors
Jazayeri, M., & Movshon, J. A. (2007). A new perceptual illusion reveals mechanisms of sensory decoding. Nature, 446(7138), 912–915.
A journal article with 3 authors
Davis, S. P., Finarelli, J. A., & Coates, M. I. (2012). Acanthodes and shark-like conditions in the last common ancestor of modern gnathostomes. Nature, 486(7402), 247–250.
A journal article with 21 or more authors
Dequéant, M.-L., Glynn, E., Gaudenz, K., Wahl, M., Chen, J., Mushegian, A., & Pourquié, O. (2006). A complex oscillating network of signaling genes underlies the mouse segmentation clock. Science (New York, N.Y.), 314(5805), 1595–1598.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book
Nova, R. (2013). Soil Mechanics. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
An edited book
Sun, Y. (2010). Strain Effect in Semiconductors: Theory and Device Applications (S. E. Thompson & T. Nishida, Eds.; First). Springer US.
A chapter in an edited book
Kemmis, S., McTaggart, R., & Nixon, R. (2014). Doing Critical Participatory Action Research: The ‘Planner’ Part. In R. McTaggart & R. Nixon (Eds.), The Action Research Planner: Doing Critical Participatory Action Research (pp. 85–114). Springer.

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 Architectural Engineering and Design Management.

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. (2005). Independent Media Development Abroad: Challenges Exist in Implementing U.S. Efforts and Measuring Results (GAO-05-803). 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
Boyer, M. D. (2009). Organizational improvisation within an episodic planning model: A systems perspective [Doctoral dissertation]. Capella University.

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
Etheredge, P. by G. (2016, December 23). Voyeur | Christmas Trees. New York Times, RE9.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Flannery, 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Flannery, 2001; Jazayeri & Movshon, 2007).

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

  • Two authors: (Jazayeri & Movshon, 2007)
  • Three or more authors: (Dequéant et al., 2006)
