How to format your references using the Equine Veterinary Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Equine Veterinary Education (EVE). 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

Kasting, J.F. (2013) Atmospheric science. How was early Earth kept warm? Science 339, 44–45.

A journal article with 2 authors

Wollert, T. and Hurley, J.H. (2010) Molecular mechanism of multivesicular body biogenesis by ESCRT complexes. Nature 464, 864–869.

A journal article with 3 authors

Zeyl, C., Vanderford, T. and Carter, M. (2003) An evolutionary advantage of haploidy in large yeast populations. Science 299, 555–558.

A journal article with 12 or more authors

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 (2011) Intercity Passenger and Freight Rail: Better Data and Communication of Uncertainties Can Help Decision Makers Understand Benefits and Trade-offs of Programs and Policies. 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

Quashie, Z. (2017) Issues with Care Provided by Direct Care Workers: A Case Study.

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

Babcock, L. (2008) Women, Repeat This: Don’t Ask, Don’t Get. New York Times BU19.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Kasting 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Wollert and Hurley 2010, Kasting 2013).

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

Two authors: (Wollert and Hurley 2010)
Three or more authors: (Torres et al. 2007)
