How to format your references using the Heat Transfer Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Heat Transfer Research (HTR). 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

Markl, H., Research Doesn’t Denigrate Humanity, Nature, vol. 412, no. 6846, pp. 479–80, August 2, 2001.

A journal article with 2 authors

Iwahara, J. and Clore, G. M., Detecting Transient Intermediates in Macromolecular Binding by Paramagnetic NMR, Nature, vol. 440, no. 7088, pp. 1227–30, April 27, 2006.

A journal article with 3 authors

A journal article with 11 or more authors

Liu, C., Fu, X., Liu, L., Ren, X., Chau, C. K. L., Li, S., Xiang, L., et al., Sequential Establishment of Stripe Patterns in an Expanding Cell Population, Science (New York, N.Y.), vol. 334, no. 6053, pp. 238–41, October 14, 2011.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Beagle, J. R., Surgical Essentials of Immediate Implant Dentistry, West Sussex, UK: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2013.

An edited book

A chapter in an edited book

Miranda, J. P., Carrillo, D., Mathilde, F., Figueiredo, F. A. P. de and Bazzo, J. J., Wavelet-Based Narrowband Interference Suppression in Long Term Evolution Physical Channels, in Long Term Evolution: 4G and Beyond, A. Paradisi M. D. Yacoub F. Lira Figueiredo and T. Tronco, Eds., Cham: Springer International Publishing, pp. 79–101, 2016.

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 Heat Transfer Research.

Blog post

Luntz, S., Watch Hundreds Of Sharks In A Feeding Frenzy, IFLScience, October 17, 2014.

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, Missouri River Navigation: Data on Commodity Shipments for Four States Served by the Missouri River and Two States Served by Both the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, GAO-09-224R, Jan. 15, 2009.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Guo, Z., Experimental Analysis of Polymer Nanocomposite Foaming Using Carbon Dioxide, Doctoral dissertation, Ohio State University, 2008.

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

Sisario, B., Ed Sheeran Holds No. 1 as Drake Inches Up, New York Times, March 20, 2017.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Markl, 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Markl, 2001; Iwahara et al., 2006).

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

Two authors: (Iwahara et al., 2006)
Three or more authors: (Liu et al., 2011)
