PubMan Func Spec Export/AJP
The Citation Style of the American Journal of Physics (AJP)[edit]
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[edit]
- 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 year issued doesn't exist, then use year published online. If both exist, always use year issued.

Creator.Person.GivenName Creator.Person.FamilyName, "Title," Journalname Volume (Issue), startpage-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).
Book Citation[edit]
Citation for books where creator type other than editor[edit]
Creator.Person.GivenName Creator.Person.FamilyName, Title. (PublishingInfo.Publisher, PublishingInfo.Place, year issued), PublishingInfo.Edition ed.
