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.

Gatenby, R.A., 2009. A change of strategy in the war on cancer. Nature 459, 508–509.
A journal article with 2 authors

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 Cerevisia.

Blog post
Luntz, S., 2015. Travel Through The Solar System At The Speed Of Light [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/space/solar-system-speed-light/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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, 2006. Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites: Additional Action Needed to Incorporate Lessons Learned from Other Satellite Programs (No. GAO-06-1129T). 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
Deolikar, P.P., 2017. Lecture Video Search Engine Using Hadoop MapReduce (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
Barron, J., 2017. Stepping Off Fifth Ave., Into a 1920s Paris Apartment. New York Times A12.

This sentence cites one reference (Gatenby, 2009).
This sentence cites two references (Gatenby, 2009; Goto and Uchikawa, 2013).

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

  • Two authors: (Goto and Uchikawa, 2013)
  • Three or more authors: (Wei et al., 2013)
