Kirjaston oppaat: Instructions for publishing in the series Acta Universitatis Ouluensis: Bibliographic management programs

Bibliographic management

The citation style for Acta series is APA. If necessary you can use IEEE citation style in the C series. Also other citation styles can be used (B series) but agree on the matter with a series editor.

The series Acta Universitatis Ouluensis has switched from APA 6^th to APA 7^th edition citation style. One notable change has to do with DOIs. Note the change and carefully check the DOIs also in the pre-filled Acta template, in chapters List of original publications (p. 13) and Original publications (p. 35). In APA 7^th the DOI is formatted as a clickable URL as follows: https://doi.org/10.1080/15402002.2016.1163702 (may also begin with http://).
In the IEEE citation style DOI is formatted as follows: doi:10.1109/TCOMM.2012.020612.090300

The Acta editors recommend that doctoral candidates use Mendeley for reference management, as for example use of Microsoft Word’s built-in bibliography builder causes technical and compatibility problems and unnecessary work.
