How to format your references using the Journal of International Marketing citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of International Marketing (JIM). 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	Download the output style file
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

Morris, Peter (2013), “Joseph E. Murray (1919-2012),” Nature, 493 (7431), 164.

A journal article with 2 authors

Subramanian, M. A. and L. E. Manzer (2002), “A ‘greener’ synthetic route for fluoroaromatics via copper (II) fluoride,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 297 (5587), 1665.

A journal article with 3 authors

Xu, Xing, Fenglu Han, and Qi Zhao (2014), “Homologies and homeotic transformation of the theropod ‘semilunate’ carpal,” Scientific reports, 4, 6042.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Yamashita, Yukiko M., Anthony P. Mahowald, Julie R. Perlin, and Margaret T. Fuller (2007), “Asymmetric inheritance of mother versus daughter centrosome in stem cell division,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 315 (5811), 518–21.

Books and book chapters

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

Blog post

Davis, Josh (2015), “Can Handshake Strength Really Predict Your Mortality Risk?,” IFLScience, IFLScience, (accessed October 30, 2018), [available at https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/can-handshake-strength-really-predict-your-health-risk/].

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 (1993), “High-Speed Ground Transportation: Issues Affecting Development in the United States,” Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office.

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

Saslow, Linda (2007), “Motorists, Take Note: The Bike Path Is Complete,” New York Times, LI11.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Morris 2013).
