How to format your references using the Schizophrenia Research citation style

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

Lu, P.J., 2004. Early precision compound machine from ancient China. Science 304, 1638.

A journal article with 2 authors

A journal article with 3 authors

Yeung, L.Y., Ash, J.L., Young, E.D., 2015. Isotope geochemistry. Biological signatures in clumped isotopes of O₂. Science 348, 431–434.

A journal article with 4 or more authors

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, 2015. School-Meals Programs: Additional Verification Could Help USDA Ensure Legitimate Access (No. GAO-15-594T). U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC.

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

Graham, R., 2017. ‘A Second Chance at Choice.’ New York Times MM46.

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Lu, 2004).
This sentence cites two references (Adrain and Martin, 2006; Lu, 2004).

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

Two authors: (Adrain and Martin, 2006)
