How to format your references using the Ethics and Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Ethics and Education. 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

Pandit, Maharaj K. 2013. “The Himalayas Must Be Protected.” Nature 501 (7467): 283.

A journal article with 2 authors

Fauci, Anthony S., and Francis S. Collins. 2012. “Benefits and Risks of Influenza Research: Lessons Learned.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 336 (6088): 1522–1523.

A journal article with 3 authors

Poulsen, Christopher J., Todd A. Ehlers, and Nadja Insel. 2010. “Onset of Convective Rainfall during Gradual Late Miocene Rise of the Central Andes.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 328 (5977): 490–493.

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Panikashvili, D., C. Simeonidou, S. Ben-Shabat, L. Hanus, A. Breuer, R. Mechoulam, and E. Shohami. 2001. “An Endogenous Cannabinoid (2-AG) Is Neuroprotective after Brain Injury.” Nature 413 (6855): 527–531.

Books and book chapters

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 Ethics and Education.

Blog post

Hale, Tom. 2016. “100,000 Flying Foxes Are Causing Chaos In A Small Australian Town.” IFLScience, IFLScience, May 27. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/100000-flying-foxes-are-causing-chaos-small-australian-town/.

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. 2002. NASA Contract Payments. GAO-02-642R. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

Theses and dissertations

Theses including Ph.D. dissertations, Master's theses or Bachelor theses follow the basic format outlined below.

Doctoral dissertation

Sweeney, Mark T. 2010. “Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare Treatment Outcomes: Wediko Children’s Services Short-Term Residential Treatment Program.” Doctoral dissertation, George Washington University.

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

Paulson, Michael. 2017. “Michael Friedman, Co-Creator of ‘Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,’ Dies at 41.” New York Times, September 10, 2017.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Pandit 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Pandit 2013; Fauci and Collins 2012).

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

Two authors: (Fauci and Collins 2012)
Three authors: (Poulsen, Ehlers, and Insel 2010)
4 or more authors: (Panikashvili et al. 2001)
