How to format your references using the Fungal Biology and Biotechnology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Fungal Biology and Biotechnology. 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

1. Lawler A. SOLAR SYSTEM EXPLORATION: A More Cautious NASA Sets Plans for Mars. Science. 2000;290:915a–6a.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Schwarzman MR, Wilson MP. Science and regulation. New science for chemicals policy. Science. 2009;326:1065–6.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Verma T, Araújo NAM, Herrmann HJ. Revealing the structure of the world airline network. Sci Rep. 2014;4:5638.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Hardy WR, Li L, Wang Z, Sedy J, Fawcett J, Frank E, et al. Combinatorial ShcA docking interactions support diversity in tissue morphogenesis. Science. 2007;317:251–6.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1. Kaltashov IA, Eyles SJ. Mass Spectrometry in Biophysics. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2005.

An edited book

1. Mohs WF. Heat and Mass Transfer in the Melting of Frost. Kulacki FA, editor. Cham: Springer International Publishing; 2015.

A chapter in an edited book

1. Popovici K, Jerraya A. Hardware Abstraction Layer. In: Ecker W, Müller W, Dömer R, editors. Hardware-dependent Software: Principles and Practice. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands; 2009. p. 67–94.

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 Fungal Biology and Biotechnology.

Blog post

1. Hamilton K. Analyzing The Way Children Sleep Could Help Us To Understand Autism [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2017 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. https://www.iflscience.com/brain/analyzing-the-way-children-sleep-could-help-us-to-understand-autism/. Accessed 30 Oct 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

1. Government Accountability Office. Executive Guide: Leading Practices in Capital Decision-Making (Superseded by AIMD-99-32). Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 1998 Apr. Report No.: AIMD-98-110.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

1. Long RE. Performance Assessment of Predicted Heat Strain in High Heat Stress Exposures [Doctoral dissertation]. [Tampa, FL]: University of South Florida; 2011.

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

1. Hodgman J. Bonus Advice From Judge John Hodgman. New York Times. 2017 Jun 30;MM18.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1,2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
