PubMan Func Spec Export/AJP

= The Citation Style of the American Journal of Physics (AJP) =

AJP provides genre specific citation for: Journal Article, Book, Thesis, Proceedings, Book Chapter and Report. For all other PubMan genres, please use the generic citation, which is specified below.

Overall Rules

 * Creators are always presented in the following order: Firstname Lastname. E.g. Nicole Kondic
 * If there are two creators, connect them with an "and" e.g. Nicole Kondic and Kristina Büchner
 * If there are several creators, separate them with comma and the last one and the one before the last one with "and" e.g. Nicole Kondic, Kristina Büchener, and Ulla Tschida
 * If creators of type author and creators of type editor are given, only author(s) should appear in the citation. If only editor(s) is/are filled in, then they should appear as creators (followed by (ed) ).
 * If year issued doesn't exist, then use year published online. If both exist, always use year issued. (No date other than "issued" or "published online" should appear in the citation. Exception: genre= manuscript. In this case, use dates in following order: date issued --> date published online --> date accepted --> date submitted --> date modified --> date created)
 * If no source info is given, then don't display the phares "in, edited by". If only source.title exists, only display "in" NOT "edited by". If only Source.Creators exist, only display "edited by".

If startpage/endpage is filled
Creator.Person.GivenName Creator.Person.FamilyName, "Title," Source.Title Source.Volume (Source.Issue), Source.startpage-Source.endpage (year issued).

e.g.: Tilmann Hickel, Matthe Uijttewaal, Blazej Grabowski, and Jörg Neugebauer, "Determination of symmetry reduced structures using a soft phonon analysis for magnetic shape memory alloys," Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter 20 (6), 28-35 (2008).

If sequence number is filled
Creator.Person.GivenName Creator.Person.FamilyName, "Title," Source.Title Source.Volume (Source.Issue), Source.sequence-number (year issued).

e.g.: Tilmann Hickel, Matthe Uijttewaal, Blazej Grabowski, and Jörg Neugebauer, "Determination of symmetry reduced structures using a soft phonon analysis for magnetic shape memory alloys," Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter 20 (6), 1234 (2008).

If both, startpage/endpage and sequence number are filled
Ignore startpage/endpage and use rule for sequence number.

Citation for books where creator type other than editor
Creator.Person.GivenName Creator.Person.FamilyName, Title. (PublishingInfo.Publisher, PublishingInfo.Place, year issued), PublishingInfo.Edition ed.

If more than one Editor exists, write (eds) instead of (ed)

e.g.: R. Behrisch and W. Eckstein (eds), Sputtering by Particle Bombardment: Experiments and Computer Calculations from Threshold to MeV Energies. (Springer Verlag, Berlin, 2007).

Thesis Citation
Creator.Person.GivenName Creator.Person.FamilyName, Degree, PublishingInfo.Publisher, year issued.

e.g.: S. Bäumel, PhD-Thesis, Universität Greifswald, 2008.

If Degree is missing, please write Thesis. e.g.: S. Bäumel, Thesis, Universität Greifswald, 2008.
