How to format your references using the Economics of Innovation and New Technology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Economics of Innovation and New 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	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

Haile-Selassie, Y. 2001. “Late Miocene Hominids from the Middle Awash, Ethiopia.” Nature 412 (6843): 178–181.

A journal article with 2 authors

Coffelt, Seth B., and Karin E. de Visser. 2014. “Cancer: Inflammation Lights the Way to Metastasis.” Nature 507 (7490): 48–49.

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

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

Wagner, James. 2017. “For Some Major Leaguers, It’s Always Great to See ‘Friends.’” New York Times, September 18, 2017.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Haile-Selassie 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Haile-Selassie 2001; Coffelt and de Visser 2014).

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

Two authors: (Coffelt and de Visser 2014)
Three authors: (Brun, Devetak, and Hsieh 2006)
4 or more authors: (Reimold et al. 2001)
