How to format your references using the Rejuvenation Research citation style

This is a short guide how to format citations and the bibliography in a manuscript for Rejuvenation Research (REJ). 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

Ramtani S. Materials science. How to be both strong and thermally stable. Science 2013;342(6156):320–321.

A journal article with 2 authors

Weaver M, Krasnow MA. Dual origin of tissue-specific progenitor cells in Drosophila tracheal remodeling. Science 2008;321(5895):1496–1499.

A journal article with 3 authors

Shaviv NJ, Prokoph A, Veizer J. Is the solar system’s galactic motion imprinted in the Phanerozoic climate? Sci Rep 2014;4:6150.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

Shi Z, Zhang Y, Cui X, et al. High-temperature continuous-wave laser realized in hollow microcavities. Sci Rep 2014;4:7180.

Books and book chapters

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

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 Rejuvenation Research.

Blog post

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. Efforts of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare and the Department of Labor to Develop and Issue Health Standards. U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC; 1977.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Beal ME. Predictive Qualities of Social Characteristics and Social Integration on Altruistic Outcomes. Doctoral dissertation. California State University, Long Beach: Long Beach, CA; 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

Qiu L. Misleading Statements From President’s Cabinet. New York Times 2017;A13.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text by sequential numbers in superscript:

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