How to format your references using the Food and Waterborne Parasitology citation style

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

Lodge, D.M., 2015. Faith and science can find common ground. Nature 523, 503.

A journal article with 2 authors

Kaya, E., Doudna, J.A., 2012. Biochemistry. Guided tour to the heart of RISC. Science 336, 985–986.

A journal article with 3 authors

Lehmann, S., Jackson, A.D., Lautrup, B.E., 2006. Measures for measures. Nature 444, 1003–1004.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

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 Waterborne Parasitology.

Blog post

Luntz, S., 2014. New Subatomic Particle Offers Strong Insights [WWW Document]. IFLScience. URL https://www.iflscience.com/physics/new-subatomic-particle-offers-strong-insights0/ (accessed 10.30.18).

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. Telecommunications: Improved Management Can Enhance FCC Decision Making for the Universal Service Fund Low-Income Program (No. GAO-11-11). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lodge, 2015).
This sentence cites two references (Kaya and Doudna, 2012; Lodge, 2015).

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

Two authors: (Kaya and Doudna, 2012)
