References
References in supporting information must also be included in the reference list of the main paper, or in a designated section in the main paper so that they will be discovered, linked, and indexed. A separate list in the supporting information is not necessary. References are not included in word counts for excess length fees.
In the References section, cite the data/software described in the Availability Statement (this includes primary and processed data used for your research). For details on data/software citation as well as examples, see theData & Software Citation section of the Data & Software for Authors guidance.
All references must be available to readers at the time of publication; there should be no “unpublished”, in preparation, under review, or “in press” references. Please write the respective journal with any questions.
