Physiology: Citing & Referencing

How to manage your references

There is a separate guide available that presents more detailed information on citation styles and different reference management tools. 

Options for Managing References

Tips on choosing and using citation styles (also called referencing styles) plus using systems such as EndNote, Zotero and Mendeley.

APA Referencing and Citation style

APA Citation Style

APA is the citation style established by the American Psychological Association.

Journal of Physiology referencing style

The Journal of Physiology Citation Style can be downloaded using various citation/reference manager formats, including EndNote, Reference Manager, RefWorks and BibTeX. 

PLEASE NOTE: The Journal of Physiology citation style in EndNote is inconsistent with the Journal of Physiology citation style on the Journal's own homepage and in the articles published in the Journal of Physiology itself.

According to the preferences of the Physiology Department, students have the option of using either the abbreviated journal title (e.g. J Physiol) or full journal title (The Journal of Physiology) in their references - as long with whichever one they choose they remain consistent. Check this with your lecturer.

Journal of Physiology Citation Style 

The style is outlined on the journal's website.
