Hello Helpful People!
I have been searching for the output style for the Journal of Crustacean Biology, as published by Oxford. I have reached out to the editorial board with no success. Any help that can be offered would be appreciated.
The instructions to authors are as follows:
All publications referred to in the text must be listed in “References.” References of three or more authors will be cited in the text using the surname of the first author followed by “et al.” Multiple references cited in the text must be arranged chronologically (not alphabetically) and separated by semi-colons: “(Herreid & Full, 1988; Boxshall & Halsey, 2004).”
Titles in “References” must be arranged alphabetically by the surname of the first author followed by initials (no space between initials) and, if having two or more authors with the same first author, must be listed alphabetically by second author, not chronologically. Titles with two authors are listed before those with three or more authors with the same first author. Titles of periodicals must be written in full and in italics, followed by a comma and volume number in bold, with en-dashes (–) between page numbers, as follows:
Wehrtmann, I. S., Magalhães, C. & Orozco, M. 2014. Freshwater crabs in Lake Atitlán, Guatemala: not a single-species fishery. Journal of Crustacean Biology, 34: 123–125. [cited as “Whertmann et al. (2014)” or “(Whertmann et al., 2014)” in text]
Articles available only online (or still in press ready to be published as a printed article) must be accompanied by a doi number:
Yasuhara, M. & Myhre, S.E. 2016. Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in long term time series and palaeoecological records: deep see as a test bed. Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 371:20150282 [doi:10.1098/rstb.2015.0282].
Book titles are to be cited in italics, followed by publisher, city, and country (in cases where city is not a large one where country is not obvious to the reader):
Boxshall, G.A. & Halsey, S.H. 2004. An introduction to copepod diversity. The Ray Society, London. [cited as “Boxshall & Halsey (2004)” or “(Boxshall & Halsey, 2004)” in text]
Articles in a book:
Herreid, C.F. & Full, R.J. 1988. Energetics and locomotion. In: Biology of the land crabs (W.W. Burggren & B.R. McMahon, eds.), pp. 337–377. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK. [cited as “Herreid & Full (1988)” or “(Herreid & Full, 1988)” in text]
Theses:
Treat as books, with university (together with location) instead of publishers, indicating if it is a Ph.D., M.S., M.A., or M.Sc. thesis:
Feng, L. 2011. The effect of dietary HUFA on the ovary development and tissue biochemical composition of the swimming crab P. trituberculatus. M.S. thesis, Shanghai Ocean University, Shanghai, China.
