How to format your references using the Glossa citation style

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

Lee, Paul H. 2014. Should we adjust for a confounder if empirical and theoretical criteria yield contradictory results? A simulation study. Scientific Reports 4. 6085.

A journal article with 2 authors

Melosh, H. J. & Collins, G. S. 2005. Planetary science: Meteor Crater formed by low-velocity impact. Nature 434(7030). 157.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kaner, Richard B. & Gilman, John J. & Tolbert, Sarah H. 2005. Materials science. Designing superhard materials. Science (New York, N.Y.) 308(5726). 1268–1269.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Tang, Fusheng & Kauffman, Emily J. & Novak, Jennifer L. & Nau, Johnathan J. & Catlett, Natalie L. & Weisman, Lois S. 2003. Regulated degradation of a class V myosin receptor directs movement of the yeast vacuole. Nature 422(6927). 87–92.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Hadjsaïd, Nouredine & Sabonnadière, Jean-Claude. 2013. Power Systems and Restructuring. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An edited book

Krishnaraj, Vijayan. 2013. Drilling of Polymer-Matrix Composites. (Zitoune, R. & Davim, J. P., Eds.). Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer.

Bertelsen, Aksel. 2011. Irving Gottesman and the Schizophrenia Spectrum. In Ritsner, Michael S. (ed.), Handbook of Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders, Volume I: Conceptual Issues and Neurobiological Advances, 115–125. Dordrecht: Springer Netherlands.

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 Glossa.

Blog post

O`Callaghan, Jonathan. 2017, February 10. SpaceX Will Launch A Groundbreaking MRSA Experiment To The ISS Next Week. (https://www.iflscience.com/space/spacex-will-launch-a-groundbreaking-mrsa-experiment-to-the-iss-next-week/) (Accessed 2018-10-30)

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. 2011. Training Necessary to Address Data Reliability Issues in NASA Agreement Database and to Minimize Potential Competition with Commercial Sector (No. GAO-11-552R). 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

Maddox, Callie Elizabeth. 2012. Postcolonial play: Encounters with sport and physical culture in contemporary India. College Park, MD: University of Maryland, College Park dissertation.

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, Sophia. 2008, June 8. Russian Takes Critical Tone On Economy. New York Times, p. A14.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lee 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Melosh & Collins 2005; Lee 2014).

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

Two authors: (Melosh & Collins 2005)
Three authors: (Kaner & Gilman & Tolbert 2005)
4 or more authors: (Tang et al. 2003)
