Style notes for this referencing type

  • Organisation name replaces author name.
  • If the organisation is the editor follow the organisation name with a comma and the word editor.
  • Capitalise only the first word of a title (as well as words that would normally begin with a capital letter).
  • Include edition if not the first (unless citing a first edition where subsequent editions exist).
  • Commonly used words in publisher names may be abbreviated. For example: Dept. for Department.
  • Place of publication:
    • If the publisher is located in more than one city: cite the city that is printed first.
    • For cities that are not well known follow with the country name either written out in full or as the ISO country code. For example: Melbourne (Australia) OR Melbourne (AU).
  • Pagination is optional.
