How to format your references using the Globalisation, Societies and Education citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Globalisation, Societies and Education. 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:

PaperpileThe citation style is built in and you can choose it in Settings > Citation Style or Paperpile > Citation Style in Google Docs.
EndNoteDownload the output style file
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, and othersThe style is either built in or you can download a CSL file that is supported by most reference managers.
BibTeXBibTeX 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
Sapolsky, Robert M. 2005. “The Influence of Social Hierarchy on Primate Health.” Science (New York, N.Y.) 308 (5722): 648–652.
A journal article with 2 authors
Feld, Jordan J., and Jay H. Hoofnagle. 2005. “Mechanism of Action of Interferon and Ribavirin in Treatment of Hepatitis C.” Nature 436 (7053): 967–972.
A journal article with 3 authors
Tsori, Yoav, François Tournilhac, and Ludwik Leibler. 2004. “Demixing in Simple Fluids Induced by Electric Field Gradients.” Nature 430 (6999): 544–547.
A journal article with 11 or more authors
Zeng, X., J. A. Goetz, L. M. Suber, W. J. Scott Jr, C. M. Schreiner, and D. J. Robbins. 2001. “A Freely Diffusible Form of Sonic Hedgehog Mediates Long-Range Signalling.” Nature 411 (6838): 716–720.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

An edited book
Rebohle, Lars. 2010. Rare-Earth Implanted MOS Devices for Silicon Photonics: Microstructural, Electrical and Optoelectronic Properties. Edited by Wolfgang Skorupa. Vol. 142. Springer Series in Materials Science. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.
A chapter in an edited book

Lecture Notes in Computer Science. Cham: Springer International Publishing.

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 Globalisation, Societies and Education.

Blog post
Andrew, Elise. 2014. “Graphene-Based Supercapacitors Could Lead To Battery-Free Electric Cars Within 5 Years.” IFLScience, IFLScience, November 12. https://www.iflscience.com/technology/graphene-based-supercapacitors-could-eliminate-batteries-electric-cars-within-5-years/.

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. 2004. Aviation Security: Private Screening Contractors Have Little Flexibility to Implement Innovative Approaches. GAO-04-505T. 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
Shrank, Stephen M. 2017. “ShareOne: An iOS Resource Application for Caseworkers: A Grant Proposal.” Doctoral dissertation, California State University, Long Beach.

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
Brantley, Ben. 2017. “Too Shocking for Midtown in the 1920s.” New York Times, April 19, 2017.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Sapolsky 2005).
This sentence cites two references (Sapolsky 2005; Feld and Hoofnagle 2005).

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

  • Two authors: (Feld and Hoofnagle 2005)
  • Three authors: (Tsori, Tournilhac, and Leibler 2004)
  • 4 or more authors: (Zeng et al. 2001)
