How to format your references using the Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics. 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 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

Woods, C.G., 2004. Neuroscience. Crossing the midline. Science 304, 1455–1456.

A journal article with 2 authors

Renaud, P., Leong, P., 2008. Chemistry. A light touch catalyzes asymmetric carbon-carbon bond formation. Science 322, 55–56.

A journal article with 3 authors

Xiang, C., Chan, C.-K., Wang, J., 2014. Proposal and numerical study of ultra-compact active hybrid plasmonic resonator for sub-wavelength lasing applications. Sci. Rep. 4, 3720.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Moehring, D.L., Maunz, P., Olmschenk, S., Younge, K.C., Matsukevich, D.N., Duan, L.-M., Monroe, C., 2007. Entanglement of single-atom quantum bits at a distance. Nature 449, 68–71.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Cherniakov, M., 2003. An Introduction to Parametric Digital Filters and Oscillators. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, Chichester, UK.

An edited book

Fleming, W.H., 2006. Controlled Markov Processes and Viscosity Solutions, Second Edition. ed, Stochastic Modelling and Applied Probability. Springer, New York, NY.

A chapter in an edited book

Cuzzocrea, A., 2009. CAMS: OLAPing Multidimensional Data Streams Efficiently, in: Pedersen, T.B., Mohania, M.K., Tjoa, A.M. (Eds.), Data Warehousing and Knowledge Discovery: 11th International Conference, DaWaK 2009 Linz, Austria, August 31–September 2, 2009 Proceedings, Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, pp. 48–62.

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 Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics.

Blog post

Andrew, E., 2015. Genetically Modified Immune Cells Control HIV Long-Term [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/genetically-modified-immune-cells-control-hiv-long-term/ (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, 1996. Aviation Security: Technology’s Role in Addressing Vulnerabilities (No. T-RCED/NSIAD-96-262). 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

Garcia, C.A., 2010. Tracking chemistry self-efficacy and achievement in a preparatory chemistry course (Doctoral dissertation). University of South Florida, Tampa, FL.

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. Comrades of the Sky. 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 (Woods, 2004).
This sentence cites two references (Renaud and Leong, 2008; Woods, 2004).

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

Two authors: (Renaud and Leong, 2008)
Three or more authors: (Moehring et al., 2007)
