How to format your references using the European Review of International Studies citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for European Review of International Studies (ERIS). 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

Yang, Shu. ‘Self-Assembled Materials. Supramolecular Lattices from Tetrahedral Nanobuilding Blocks’. Science (New York, N.Y.) vol. 348, no. 6233 (2015), pp. 396–97.

A journal article with 2 authors

Jinnah, Sikina and Stefan Jungcurt. ‘Global Biological Resources. Could Access Requirements Stifle Your Research?’ Science (New York, N.Y.) vol. 323, no. 5913 (2009), pp. 464–65.

A journal article with 3 authors

Bishop, Joseph R., Manuela Schuksz, and Jeffrey D. Esko. ‘Heparan Sulphate Proteoglycans Fine-Tune Mammalian Physiology’. Nature vol. 446, no. 7139 (2007), pp. 1030–37.

Blog post

Andrew, Elise. ‘Nuclear Fusion Reactions See Net Gain in Energy’. IFLScience, (2014). https://www.iflscience.com/physics/nuclear-fusion-reactions-see-net-gain-energy/.

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. ‘Examination Into Possible Irregularities in the Use of Federal Funds in the Administration of the Chemawa Indian School in Marion County, Oregon]’, (Washington, DC: 20 November 1972).

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Labelle, Denis A. Perceived Barriers to Recruitment and Retention in Rural Healthcare Sectors: A Physical Therapist Narrative Inquiry, (Doctoral dissertation: University of Phoenix: 2012).

News paper articles

New York Times article

Poniewozik, James. ‘Can’t Recall Where You Were? That’s the Point’. New York Times, 2017.
