Style notes for journal articles
- 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 AGLC4 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 AGLC4 Rule 1.4.
- The full title of the journal should appear in italics and should not be abbreviated, subject to the following exceptions (see AGLC4 Rule 5.5):
- 'the' should not be included at the start of the journal title; and
- subtitles of journals should be omitted where this does not cause ambiguity.
- The starting page is the number of the first page of an article. This should follow the title of the journal, see AGLC4 Rule 5.6.
