AGU Reference Style

AGU Reference Style 1 AGU Reference Style Because the AGU reference list is considered to be a source tool for obtaining materials rather than an exact record of publication information, use current publisher information, if known. In addition, use U.S. locations for publishers with multiple offices. Reference Categories and Their Required Elements 1. Article in Journal Author(s) Year (in parentheses) Title of article Journal title (in italics) Volume number (in italics) Page(s) 2. Article in Journal With DOI Author(s) Year (in parentheses) Title of article Journal title (in italics) Volume number (in italics) Issue number (in parentheses) Page(s) (or Citation number) DOI Note that as of 1 January 2004, articles published in AGU journals will not use the separate issue number element. The issue number will be included in the new six-digit citation number. Journal titles are abbreviated according to the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index. Write out title in full if abbreviation is not known. Examples: Brophy, J. G., E. M. Klein, and M. A.

Data Sets Author(s) Year (in parentheses) Title of data set (not italic) Access number or code Data center Location (city and state/country) Date (optional) Data sets cited must meet the following three criteria: (1) open to scientists throughout the world; (2) committed to archiving data sets indefinitely, and (3) provide services at reasonable costs. Currently, World and National Data Centers meet these requirements. (See List of World Data Centers and National Data Centers.) Example: Hodell, D. A., R. H. Benson, and D. V. Kent (1994), Carbon Calcium Database, paleo@mail.ngcd.noaa.gov, Natl. Geophys. Data Cent., Boulder, Colo. Organization of the Reference List Organize the reference list by strict letter-by-letter alphabetization of the first item in the reference, as in the sequence of Lane, Le Pichon, Macaulay, MacDonald, McDonald, Sanders, Sandia National Laboratories, St. Amant, Urey, von Seggern. List references by the same first author in the following order: 1. First author alone, list chronologically, earliest work first. 2. One coauthor, list alphabetically by coauthor and then chronologically. 3. Two or more coauthors (i.e., cited as "et al." in text), list chronologically. The following list illustrates this sequence: Smith, A. (1989a),… Smith, A. (1989b),… Smith, A. (1991),… Smith, A., and C. Allen (1992),... Smith, A., and B. Frank (1995),... Updated: 6 January 2004 AGU Reference Style 4 Smith, A., and B. Frank (1997),... Smith, A., L. Roberts, and T. Jones (1993),... Smith, A., T. Jones, and L. Roberts (1997),... Use only initials for first names. Alphabetize different first authors having the same last name according to the initials of their first names. If their initials are the same, alphabetize them by their full names or by the last names of the second authors if any. Use first author and et al. for more than 10 authors: Smith, A., et al. Text Citations References are cited by the last name of the author(s) (use et al. for three or more authors) and the year: [Smith, 1991; Smith and Allen, 1992; Smith et al., 1993]. If the author's name is part of the sentence, only the year is bracketed: Jones [1990]. Two or more publications by the same author in the same year are distinguished by a, b, and c after the year: [Smith, 1989a, 1989b]. Avoid the wording “in Smith [1999]”; use instead, “in the work of Smith [1989]” or “by Smith [1989]. Acceptable words within brackets: Before reference see e.g., cf. from after i.e., also Examples: [see also Jones, 2000] [e.g., Evans, 1993a, 1993b, 1994] by Hacker et al. [2000, Figure 3] After reference and references therein pp., equation, chapter Table, Figure, etc. ff. (close up: p. 53ff.) by Thomas [1992, and references therein] and Evans [1993] for further details, see Smith [1989, Table 1.3] (300 km [Davis, 2001] and 450 km [Armstrong et al., 2002]) Electronic Data Because the Internet is dynamic environment and sites may change or move, treat World Wide Web, ftp files, and electronically archived data stored at data centers other than World or National Data Centers as unpublished, i.e., in text only. For information on how to cite auxiliary material (e.g., data sets, animations, spreadsheets) that you intend to store at AGU, see http://www.agu.org/pubs/elecsupp.html#footnote Examples: Magellan data are available at http://www.pds.wustl.edu. Mixing ratios are available for Carbon Dioxide Information and Analysis Center (Oak Ridge, Tennessee; anonymous ftp to ftp.codl.noaa.gov) Personal Communications/Preprints Personal communications, unpublished data or reports, and preprints are not included in the reference list; they are cited in text (in parentheses with year): Updated: 6 January 2004 AGU Reference Style Examples: provided by F. S. Jones (unpublished data, 1990) (T. Smith, preprint, 2002) R. Reynolds (manuscript in preparation, 2003) Updated: 6 January 2004 5
