How to format your references using the European View citation style

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

Roenneberg, T. (2013). Chronobiology: the human sleep project. Nature, 498(7455), 427–428.

A journal article with 2 authors

Siddiqi, I., & Clarke, J. (2006). Physics. Entangled solid-state circuits. Science (New York, N.Y.), 313(5792), 1400–1401.

A journal article with 3 authors

Charlesworth, J. D., Warren, T. L., & Brainard, M. S. (2012). Covert skill learning in a cortical-basal ganglia circuit. Nature, 486(7402), 251–255.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Ao, W., Gaudet, J., Kent, W. J., Muttumu, S., & Mango, S. E. (2004). Environmentally induced foregut remodeling by PHA-4/FoxA and DAF-12/NHR. Science (New York, N.Y.), 305(5691), 1743–1746.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Frank, W. L., & Whittle, D. K. (2010). Revalidating Process Hazard Analyses. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

Claypool, M., & Uhlig, S. (Eds.). (2008). Passive and Active Network Measurement: 9th International Conference, PAM 2008, Cleveland, OH, USA, April 29-30, 2008. Proceedings (Vol. 4979). Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

A chapter in an edited book

Huang, S., Wang, S., Li, W., & Wang, Q. (2016). Simulation of Interactions Between Guided Waves and the Defects by Boundary Element Method. In S. Wang, W. Li, & Q. Wang (Eds.), Electromagnetic Ultrasonic Guided Waves (pp. 183–235). Singapore: Springer.

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 European View.

Blog post

Andrew, D. (2016, December 12). How We Caught The First Glimpse Of Weather On a Faraway Gas Giant. IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/space/how-we-caught-the-first-glimpse-of-weather-on-a-faraway-gas-giant/. Accessed 30 October 2018

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. (2010). Preliminary Observations on the Potential Effects of the Proposed Performance Rights Act on the Recording and Broadcast Radio Industries (No. GAO-10-428R). 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

Zhu, H. (2012). Outcomes of China Free Antiretroviral Treatment Program, 2003–2010 (Doctoral dissertation). University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC.

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

Kenigsberg, B. (2017, October 26). Trudging to Suffrage, On a Swiss Schedule. New York Times, p. C7.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Roenneberg 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Roenneberg 2013; Siddiqi and Clarke 2006).

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

Two authors: (Siddiqi and Clarke 2006)
Three or more authors: (Ao et al. 2004)
