How to format your references using the International Journal of Learner Corpus Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for International Journal of Learner Corpus Research (IJLCR). 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

Pockley, P. (2001). Funding bonanza for astronomy and biotech in Australia. Nature, 412(6850), 846.

A journal article with 2 authors

Duchek, P., & Rørth, P. (2001). Guidance of cell migration by EGF receptor signaling during Drosophila oogenesis. Science (New York, N.Y.), 291(5501), 131–133.

A journal article with 3 authors

Purdy, T. P., Peterson, R. W., & Regal, C. A. (2013). Observation of radiation pressure shot noise on a macroscopic object. Science (New York, N.Y.), 339(6121), 801–804.

A journal article with 8 or more authors

Bond, H. E., Henden, A., Levay, Z. G., Panagia, N., Sparks, W. B., Starrfield, S., … Munari, U. (2003). An energetic stellar outburst accompanied by circumstellar light echoes. Nature, 422(6930), 405–408.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Heinemann (Eds.), IUTAM Symposium on One Hundred Years of Boundary Layer Research: Proceedings of the IUTAM Symposium held at DLR-Göttingen, Germany, August 12-14, 2004 (pp. 49–58). 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 International Journal of Learner Corpus Research.

Blog post

Luntz, S. (2017, June 8). Bacterial-Inorganic Hybrid Ammonia Production Could Change Global Food Production. Retrieved October 30, 2018, from IFLScience website: https://www.iflscience.com/chemistry/bacterial-inorganic-hybrid-ammonia-production-could-change-global-food-production/

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. (1977). Proposed Facility Requirements for the National Center for Toxicological Research and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (No. HRD-78-29). 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

Walsh, C. T. (2005). Molecular Pharmacodynamics of Chemotherapy: Fibroblast Growth Factor (FGF) Inhibitors as Chemosensitizers (Doctoral dissertation). Ohio State University, Columbus, OH.

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, S. (2007, July 6). After Celebrating Winning Bid, Russia Has Work Ahead. New York Times, p. D2.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Pockley, 2001).
This sentence cites two references (Pockley, 2001; Duchek & Rørth, 2001).

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

Two authors: (Duchek & Rørth, 2001)
Three authors: (Purdy, Peterson, & Regal, 2013)
6 or more authors: (Bond et al., 2003)
