How to format your references using the Health and Technology citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Health and 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	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. McLaren A. Stem cells: golden opportunities with ethical baggage. Science. 2000;288:1778.

A journal article with 2 authors

1. Ramocki MB, Zoghbi HY. Failure of neuronal homeostasis results in common neuropsychiatric phenotypes. Nature. 2008;455:912–8.

A journal article with 3 authors

1. Day M, Langston R, Morris RGM. Glutamate-receptor-mediated encoding and retrieval of paired-associate learning. Nature. 2003;424:205–9.

A journal article with 7 or more authors

1. Liu L, Liu S, Chen X, Li C, Ling J, Liu X, et al. Switching molecular orientation of individual fullerene at room temperature. Sci Rep. 2013;3:3062.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

1. Chin WC. Resistivity Modeling. Hoboken, NJ: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; 2016.

An edited book

1. Xi B. Optimization of Solid Waste Conversion Process and Risk Control of Groundwater Pollution. 1st ed. 2016. Jiang Y, Li M, Yang Y, Huang C, editors. Berlin, Heidelberg: Springer; 2016.

A chapter in an edited book

1. Hombach LE, Walther G. Evaluation of CO2 Abatement Measures for (Bio-) Fuel Production. In: Dethloff J, Haasis H-D, Kopfer H, Kotzab H, Schönberger J, editors. Logistics Management: Products, Actors, Technology - Proceedings of the German Academic Association for Business Research, Bremen, 2013. Cham: Springer International Publishing; 2015. p. 39–51.

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 Health and Technology.

Blog post

1. Davis J. Nope, Your Intelligence Probably Isn’t Solely Inherited From Your Mother [Internet]. IFLScience. IFLScience; 2016 [cited 2018 Oct 30]. https://www.iflscience.com/brain/nope-your-intelligence-probably-isnt-solely-inherited-from-your-mother/. 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. Transit Asset Management: Additional Research on Capital Investment Effects Could Help Transit Agencies Optimize Funding. Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office; 2013 Jul. Report No.: GAO-13-571.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

1. Volkmer JE. The Cretaceous-Tertiary tectonic evolution of the Lhasa Terrane, Tibet [Doctoral dissertation]. [Tucson, AZ]: University of Arizona; 2010.

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. Eligon J. With the Security Team At a Las Vegas Casino. New York Times. 2017 Oct 5;A21.

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].
