How to reference an accepted paper?

[snowshoes]

I am applying for a scholarship and they are vague about format.  I want to cite two accepted papers in my list of publications, but I'm not sure what the proper format is.

 

The one thing they stipulate is the manuscript number, number of pages, and date it was accepted.

 

How do you put all this information in a clean manner?

 

e.g.:

 

Snowshoes, X.X. (in press) Applying for scholarships. Journal of Graduate Studies. MS #8494-234 22 pp. Accepted 12/12/2013.

 

It just seems really sloppy and I can't find any format.  It is nitpicking at this point, but I need this scholarship!

 

Thanks

I simply write: 

 

Logician, F. (forthcoming) Basket-weaving and the Socratic method. Journal of colorful music. 

 

That's a common citation format in my field; you should find out what is accepted practice in your field and do the same, it's hard to give advice without knowing your field. 

 

Am I understanding correctly, that you are required to provide that additional information? If so, I think the way you have it is perfectly fine. I might try: 

 

Logician, F. (forthcoming) Basket-weaving and the Socratic method. Journal of colorful music. 22 pages. MS# 123456, accepted 12/12/12.

Thanks, your format looks good.  And yes, they stipulate that information as a requirement but do not give a format.

My field usually puts it like:  Grindelwald, G. (in press).  "Field-changing paper." High impact journal.

 

Done and done.
