How to format your references using the Magnetochemistry citation style

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

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

Brouns, S.J.J. Molecular Biology. A Swiss Army Knife of Immunity. Science 2012, 337, 808–809.

A journal article with 2 authors

Fries, M.; Steele, A. Graphite Whiskers in CV3 Meteorites. Science 2008, 320, 91–93.

A journal article with 3 authors

Catani, M.; Bodi, I.; Dell’Acqua, F. Comment on “The Geometric Structure of the Brain Fiber Pathways.” Science 2012, 337, 1605.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Blog post

Hamilton, K. To Fight Antibiotic Resistance, We Need To Fight Bad Prescribing Habits Available online: https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/to-fight-antibiotic-resistance-we-need-to-fight-bad-prescribing-habits/ (accessed on 30 October 2018).

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 Aviation Safety: Is Re-Regulation Needed To Improve Aviation Safety; U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC, 1987;

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Reitz, M.A. Nonlinear Robust Control of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors With Applications to Hybrid Electric Vehicles. Doctoral dissertation, Southern Illinois University: Edwardsville, IL, 2016.

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

David Goodman, J. Police Issue Fewer Tickets for Minor Offenses Such as Public Urination. New York Times 2017, A19.

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in square brackets:

This sentence cites one reference [1].
This sentence cites two references [1,2].
This sentence cites four references [1–4].
