Style notes for this reference type
- For two or three authors, use the names of all authors, using 'and' to separate the names of the last two authors. If there are more than three authors, use the name of the first author followed by 'et al'. See Rule 4.1.2.
- For subsequent references to a journal article, use the first author's surname with a cross reference to the original footnote number. If using the surname is ambiguous or confusing, you can use a short title. See Rule 1.4.
- The full title of the journal should appear in italics and should not be abbreviated, unless the journal title starts with 'the’ (this can be omitted). Do not include journal subtitles unless removing them creates ambiguity. See Rule 5.5.
- The full title of the journal should be italicised, 'the' should not be included at the start of the journal title
- The starting page is the number of the first page of an article. This should follow the title of the journal
