How should one cite the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics?
They do have a rather strange numbering scheme. There are 12 "issues"
per year, and the volume number is the same as the year number, and really is 4 digits. (Most online-only journals (unless, perhaps, they have a history of paper publication) tend to have one volume per year, usually starting at vol. 1 whenever the journal was founded, and article identifiers instead of page numbers, with no issues or numbers within the volumes. Example: https://astro.theoj.org/ .) ADS tends to treat their issues like volumes in their identifiers (which normally don't have issues or numbers), but this isn't completely consistent since they start over at 1 every year whereas volumes are usually continuously numbered. Of course, together with the year it is a unique identifier. Actually, they aren't even consistent themselves, recommending citations such as JCAP08(2016)013 which, aside from being ugly, would normally suggest vol. 8, p. 13 from year 2016. Bu their website clearly indicates that the volume number is the same is the year and that the other number is the issue number (usually, in most journals, not given in the reference list). So for, say, volume 2013, issue 5, id or page 37 there would be the choice of 5, 37, 2013 or 2013, 13, 2013. if the order is volume, page, year. There doesn't seem to be an official recommendation, and like I wrote the journal itself is inconsistent. What do people here do? Is there any official recommendation? Of course, with links to the DOI in the reference list, the actual form is less important than it once was. Still, many journals, whether electronic or paper or both, still have conventional reference lists. |
