How to format your references using the Russian Linguistics citation style

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

Cohen, J. (2014). Strategies against HIV/AIDS. Australia shows its neighbors how to stem an epidemic. Introduction. Science (New York, N.Y.), 345(6193), 152–155.

A journal article with 2 authors

Andrews, L., & Wang, X. (2003). The infrared spectrum of Al2H6 in solid hydrogen. Science (New York, N.Y.), 299(5615), 2049–2052.

A journal article with 3 authors

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 Russian Linguistics.

Blog post

Andrew, E. (2015, April 28). Are We Living In A Hologram? IFLScience. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/physics/2d-people-looking-out-3d-world/. Accessed 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. (1988). [Comments on Agency Participation in SBIR Program] (No. B-230594.2). 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

Newsom, S. M. (2012). Love and Creativity: A Shared Dynamic (Doctoral dissertation). Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, CA.

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

Greenhouse, L., & Kirkpatrick, D. D. (2007, June 26). Justices Loosen Ad Restrictions In Campaign Law. New York Times, p. A1.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Cohen 2014).
This sentence cites two references (Andrews and Wang 2003; Cohen 2014).

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

Two authors: (Andrews and Wang 2003)
Three or more authors: (Ziegler et al. 2004)
