How to format your references using the Journal of Macromarketing citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Journal of Macromarketing. 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

Carpenter, Barry K. (2011), “Chemistry. Taking the high road and getting there before you,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 332 (6035), 1269–70.

A journal article with 2 authors

Juliano, Celina and Gary Wessel (2010), “Developmental biology. Versatile germline genes,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 329 (5992), 640–41.

A journal article with 3 authors

Yang, Zhanbing, Seiichi Watanabe, and Takahiko Kato (2013), “The irradiation effect of a simultaneous laser and electron dual-beam on void formation,” Scientific reports, 3, 1201.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Kovalchuk, Yury, Eric Hanse, Karl W. Kafitz, and Arthur Konnerth (2002), “Postsynaptic Induction of BDNF-Mediated Long-Term Potentiation,” Science (New York, N.Y.), 295 (5560), 1729–34.

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".

Leland, John and Sarah Maslin Nir (2017), “The Village Voice, Keeper of Downtown Cool, Will Shed Its Print Edition,” New York Times, A15.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites two references (Carpenter 2011; Juliano and Wessel 2010).

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

Two authors: (Juliano and Wessel 2010)
