How to format your references using the Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence. 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

Stevens, C.F., 2001. An evolutionary scaling law for the primate visual system and its basis in cortical function. Nature 411, 193–195.

A journal article with 2 authors

Soldner, F., Jaenisch, R., 2012. Medicine. iPSC disease modeling. Science 338, 1155–1156.

A journal article with 3 authors

Ochedowski, O., Bussmann, B.K., Schleberger, M., 2014. Graphene on mica - intercalated water trapped for life. Sci. Rep. 4, 6003.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Krause, O., Tanaka, M., Usuda, T., Hattori, T., Goto, M., Birkmann, S., Nomoto, K., 2008. Tycho Brahe’s 1572 supernova as a standard type Ia as revealed by its light-echo spectrum. Nature 456, 617–619.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Weber, P., Simon, C., 2016. Benefits of Bayesian Network Models. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ.

An edited book

Purkayastha, J. (Ed.), 2016. Bioprospecting of Indigenous Bioresources of North-East India. Springer, Singapore.

A chapter in an edited book

(Ed.), Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering: 4th International Conference, CDVE 2007, Shanghai, China, September 16-20, 2007. Proceedings, Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, pp. 33–41.

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 Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence.

Blog post

Andrew, D., 2015. What Do You See - Albert Einstein Or Marilyn Monroe? [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/brain/which-do-you-see-albert-einstein-or-marilyn-monroe/ (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, 1987. DOD’s Acquisition of the Composite Health Care System (No. T-IMTEC-87-3). 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

Rankinen, W.A., 2014. The Sociophonetic and Acoustic Vowel Dynamics of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula English (Doctoral dissertation). Indiana University, Bloomington, IN.

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

Tomasky, M., 2017. A Bad Deal for Democrats. New York Times A27.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Stevens, 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Soldner and Jaenisch, 2012; Stevens, 2001).

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

Two authors: (Soldner and Jaenisch, 2012)
Three or more authors: (Krause et al., 2008)
