How to format your references using the Food and Bioprocess Technology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Food and Bioprocess Technology. 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

Childress, L. (2014). Physics. Diamond dynamics under control. Science (New York, N.Y.), 345(6202), 1247–1248.

A journal article with 2 authors

Quinn, T. C., & Overbaugh, J. (2005). HIV/AIDS in women: an expanding epidemic. Science (New York, N.Y.), 308(5728), 1582–1583.

A journal article with 3 authors

Jung, H., Green, H. W., II, & Dobrzhinetskaya, L. F. (2004). Intermediate-depth earthquake faulting by dehydration embrittlement with negative volume change. Nature, 428(6982), 545–549.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

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 Food and Bioprocess Technology.

Blog post

Fang, J. (2015, August 25). New Seal Virus Is Closely Related To The Human Hepatitis A Virus. IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/new-seal-virus-closely-related-human-hepatitis-virus/. 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. (1975). Pilot Cities Program: Phaseout Needed Due To Limited National Benefits (No. GGD-75-16). 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

Hume, D. M. (2010). The reader as collaborator in Coleridge’s fragments “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, “Christabel,” and “Kubla Khan”: Kindling “Native flames” rather than reflecting “Alien fires” (Doctoral dissertation). California State University, Long Beach, Long Beach, CA.

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

Kishkovsky, S. (2003, March 23). Moscow Music Festival Marks Russian Easter. New York Times, p. 53.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Childress 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Childress 2014; Quinn and Overbaugh 2005).

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

Two authors: (Quinn and Overbaugh 2005)
Three or more authors: (Burlaga et al. 2005)
