Citations and References

1. How do I cite a CGF paper if it was accepted by its partnership conference, such as Eurographics, EuroVis, EGSR, SGP, and PG?

For all papers that are published in Computer Graphics Forum, one should always cite them with the following basic information: Note that most Wiley journals have switched to using a unique article number instead of page numbers, which should be used in the citation if available.

Essential Information:

<Author names>. “<Paper title.>” Computer Graphics Forum, <volume:, <issue>, <pages> or <article number>, <year>.

Good Example: Marco Di Bartolomeo and Yifan Hu. “There is More to Streamgraphs than Movies: Better Aesthetics via Ordering and Lassoing.” Computer Graphics Forum, volume 35, no. 3, pages 341-350, 2016.

One should never cite only the partner conference, as this would create unnecessary burden for readers to locate the publication, denying the main objective of a reference. For example, an inappropriate reference for the above example could be:

Bad Example: Marco Di Bartolomeo and Yifan Hu. “There is More to Streamgraphs than Movies: Better Aesthetics via Ordering and Lassoing.” Proc. EuroVis 2016, pages 341-350, 2016.

2. My paper received an award in the partner conference. How can I mention this?

You may add additional information at the end of a reference, such as:

Good Example: Marco Di Bartolomeo and Yifan Hu. “There is More to Streamgraphs than Movies: Better Aesthetics via Ordering and Lassoing.” Computer Graphics Forum, volume 35, no. 3, pages 341-350, 2016. (doi: 10.1111/cgf.12910, EuroVis 2016 best paper award.)

3. How can I reference a paper that is currently in the Wiley EarlyView repository?

All papers in the Wiley EarlyView repository have doi numbers that will not change after their inclusion in specific volumes. Wiley will likely improve the identification of these papers in the near future. At the moment, we recommend that one references such a paper as:

Good Example: <Author names>. “<Paper title>.” Computer Graphics Forum, <year>. (doi: 10.1111/cgf.xxxxx.)

4. Do I use page numbers or article number when citing a CGF paper?

Most Wiley journals have switched to using a unique article number instead of page numbers, which should be used in the citation if available.
