CITATIONS
JIK uses Mendeley Reference Manager with the output style of Conservation Biology for in-text citation and references section. Citation examples are as follows
In-text citations
- In most cases, enclose citations in text in parentheses: “ In some trees, grain may spiral in one direction for several years and then reverse direction to spiral oppositely (Shmulsky & Jones 2011).” is better than “According to Shmulsky and Jones (2011), In some trees, grain may spiral.....”
- Use an ampersand (&) between author surnames when the citation is parenthetical: (Kozlowsky & Pallardy 1997).
- When a citation is not parenthetical, use and: “These findings are consistent with the predictions of Mayer and Koch (2007).
- For citations with more than two authors, use et al.: (Marsoem et al. 2015). Do not italicize et al.
- List parenthetical citations chronologically (from oldest to most recent) and separate entries with a semicolon: (Siddique et al.2012; Alemaheyu et al. 2014).
- Separate the years with commas when citing multiple papers by the same author: (Widyorini et al.2015, 2016; Umemura et al. 2014).
References section
- Provide the full names of all journal titles. Do not italicize titles.
- If there are more than 10 authors, use et al. (Singarimbun M, et al.) instead of listing the names of all authors.
- Papers in review and personal communications should not be included in references.
- Proceedings and abstracts from conferences may be cited only if they have a “publisher” and the location of the publisher (or the organization from which the document may be obtained) can be provided.
- Written with name-year system and arranged alphabetically refer to Conservation Biology format as the examples below.
