Description: An article published in an academic journal

Notes

• When multiple authors' names are included within your sentence in your assignment (not in brackets) use the full spelling of 'and' in your referencing. When the authors names are in brackets or in the reference list, use '&'.
• When there are four or more authors, use the abbreviation 'et al.' (from the Latin for 'and others') in your in-text referencing following the first author's family name, but list all authors in your reference list.
• If you are referencing a supplement, add 'suppl.' after the article title followed by the letter/number in question, for example:
  • Smith, B 2007, 'The effect of caffeine on sleep', suppl. B, Journal of Sleep, vol. 4, no. 3, pp. S3–S6.
• When no volume or issue details are provided for the journal but the month of publication is (e.g. February, May), write the month in place of volume/issue details.
