How to format your references using the Interfacial Phenomena and Heat Transfer citation style

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

Bygbjerg, I. C., Double Burden of Noncommunicable and Infectious Diseases in Developing Countries, Science (New York, N.Y.), vol. 337, no. 6101, pp. 1499–1501, September 21, 2012.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

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 Interfacial Phenomena and Heat Transfer.

Blog post

Fang, J., Nemo’s Dad Should Have Become His Mom, And Other Lies Children’s Movies Told You, IFLScience, June 6, 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, Information Technology: Leading Commercial Practices for Outsourcing of Services, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, GAO-02-214, Nov. 30, 2001.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Backfish, M., Electron Cloud in Steel Beam Pipe vs Titanium Nitride Coated and Amorphous Carbon Coated Beam Pipes in Fermilab’s Main Injector, Doctoral dissertation, Indiana University, 2013.

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

Vecsey, G., Suddenly, San Francisco’s a Baseball Town, New York Times, October 27, 2010.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Bygbjerg, 2012).
This sentence cites two references (Bygbjerg, 2012; Sachdev et al., 2000).

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

Two authors: (Sachdev et al., 2000)
Three or more authors: (Jang et al., 2011)
