Download LCJ & IGLC Referencing Guide 2016

The guide is based on the referencing guide contained in ASCE’s Manuscript Submission and Revision Requirements with permission from ASCE. Additions to the ASCE guide are marked with a bar in the left margin.

The Lean Construction Journal (LCJ) and the International Group for Lean Construction (IGLC) use the author-date method for in-text references (e.g., Smith 2004 or Smith & Jones 2004) and, if specific pages are referenced: (Smith 2004, 123-5; Smith & Jones 2004, 69).

The guide contains advice on referencing sources most frequently used in IGLC papers. Please refer to http://libweb.anglia.ac.uk/referencing/harvard.htm for ideas about how to deal with a range of other sources and adapt the guidelines there to conform with the look and feel outlined here. If in doubt please highlight any references you are uncertain about.

To ensure that all references are correctly formatted we recommend using a reference manager tool for inserting the references in your paper. If you are not already using one, we recommend Zotero, which is both easy to use and a free download from Zotero.org. You also need to download a style definition for the ASCE style. This can be found in the Zotero style repository at Zotero.org/styles ()Direct link to ASCE style).

If you are using EndNote you can download EndNote styles here (Direct link to ASCE style).

A References section must be included that lists all references alphabetically by last name of the first author. References must be published works only. Exceptions to this rule are theses, dissertations, and “in press” articles, all of which are allowed in the References list. References cited in text that are not found in the reference list may be deleted or queried by the editor. All references included in the References section must be cited in the text.
