How to format your references using the Yeast citation style

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

A journal article with 1 author

Sherwood S. 2015. Climate science: The Sun and the rain. Nature, 528: 200–201.

A journal article with 2 authors

Fengos G, Iber D. 2013. Prediction stability in a data-based, mechanistic model of σF regulation during sporulation in Bacillus subtilis. Sci. Rep., 3: 2755.

A journal article with 3 authors

Kaplan CD, Laprade L, Winston F. 2003. Transcription elongation factors repress transcription initiation from cryptic sites. Science, 301: 1096–1099.

A journal article with 10 or more authors

Akagi H, Otobe T, Staudte A, Shiner A, Turner F, Dörner R, Villeneuve DM, Corkum PB. 2009. Laser tunnel ionization from multiple orbitals in HCl. Science, 325: 1364–1367.

Books and book chapters

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

An authored book

Flood JM. 2014. Wiley Gaap 2015. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd: Chichester, UK.

An edited book

Jacobson MJ, Reimann P. (eds). 2010. Designs for Learning Environments of the Future: International Perspectives from the Learning Sciences. Springer US: Boston, MA.

A chapter in an edited book

Stankiewicz JM, Buckle GJ. 2011. MS: Clinical Features, Symptom Management, and Diagnosis. In Clinical Neuroimmunology: Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders, Rizvi SA, Coyle PK. (eds). Humana Press: Totowa, NJ; 89–110.

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 Yeast.

Blog post

Andrew E. 2015. NASA and NOAA Agree: 2014 Was Hottest Year On Record. IFLScience. https://www.iflscience.com/environment/nasa-and-noaa-agree-2014-was-hottest-year-record/ (Accessed October 30, 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. 1971. Multiyear Leasing and Government-Wide Purchasing of Automatic Data Processing Equipment Should Result in Significant Savings. U.S. Government Printing Office: Washington, DC.

Theses and dissertations

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

Doctoral dissertation

Tsai H-Y. 2006. Elucidating the Role of Protein Cofactors in RNA Catalysis Using Ribonuclease P as the Model System. Doctoral dissertation, Ohio State University: Columbus, OH.

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

Wagner J. 2017. He Licks Bats, and He Kisses His Coach. Don’t Give Him Any More Ideas. New York Times, October 17.

In-text citations

References should be cited in the text
