How to format your references using the Wind Energy Science citation style

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

Fryzuk, M. D.: Chemistry. More can be better in N2 activation, Science, 340, 1530–1531, 2013.

A journal article with 2 authors

Singh, D. J. and Parker, D.: Itinerant magnetism in doped semiconducting β-FeSi₂ and CrSi₂, Sci. Rep., 3, 3517, 2013.

A journal article with 3 authors

Laskar, J., Levrard, B., and Mustard, J. F.: Orbital forcing of the martian polar layered deposits, Nature, 419, 375–377, 2002.

A journal article with 100 or more authors

Yamaguchi, Y., Filipovska, J., Yano, K., Furuya, A., Inukai, N., Narita, T., Wada, T., Sugimoto, S., Konarska, M. M., and Handa, H.: Stimulation of RNA polymerase II elongation by hepatitis delta antigen, Science, 293, 124–127, 2001.

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: Year 2000 Computing Crisis: Customs Has Established Effective Year 2000 Program Controls, AIMD-99-37, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC, 1999.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Pappa, D. M.: A Study of Various Process Factors in the Scale Up of a High Shear Granulated Product, Doctoral dissertation, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, 2002.

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

In-text citations

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

This sentence cites one reference (Fryzuk, 2013).
This sentence cites two references (Fryzuk, 2013; Singh and Parker, 2013).

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

Two authors: (Singh and Parker, 2013)
Three or more authors: (Yamaguchi et al., 2001)
