KMF Reference List and Citations Style Guide

KMF recommends that references be prepared with a bibliography software package such as EndNote or ReferenceManager, if a manuscript is prepared in MS Word. Alternatively, the free software Zotero can be used. Zotero is a tool that helps you to collect, organize and cite your references. If references are prepared manually, the authors should check them for completeness and correctness. For this purpose authors may use Web of Science, PubMed/MEDLIN or Google Scholar.

Quick Reference Formatting Guide

Journal references must cite the full title of the paper, page range or article number, and digital object identifier (DOI) where available. Cited journals should be abbreviated according to ISO 4 rules, see the ISSN Center’s List of Title Word Abbreviations or CAS’s Core Journals List. Note: If you are not sure how to abbreviate a particular journal title, please leave the entire title. The Editorial Office will abbreviate those journal titles appropriately.
