New Zealand Vet Journal Reference style

The New Zealand Vet Journal has its own referencing system that, like all referencing systems, has particular rules about style and formatting to follow:

  • In the reference list, authors names are in bold, with the surname given first, followed by first name/s initials without intervening punctuation. There should be no full stops or space between the initials. Authors should be separated with a comma.
  • The reference list should be alphabetised according to the surname of the first author. Give all the authors unless there are more than 10 authors. If there are more than 10 authors, use et al. after the 10th author.
  • References with the same first author follow a listing hierarchy in the reference list: i. single author, ii. two authors alphabetically according to the name of the second author, iii. three or more authors, listed chronologically. The letters a, b, c, etc should be appended to the year for sources published by the same first author in the same year.
  • Journal and book titles should be in italics, title case, and unabbreviated. Journal articles and chapters in edited books should not be italicized nor title case. The publication year is given at the end of the reference list entry and should not be followed by a full stop.
  • In-text citations follow an author-date format. For two authors, give both authors’ surnames separated with ‘and’. For more than two authors, give the first author’s surname and replace all other authors with an italicised ‘et al.’ There is no punctuation between the author/s and date. For example:
  • (Smith 2009b)

    (Kogan and Bontempo 2008)

    (Lund et al. 2002)

  • Multiple citations within a single set of parenthesis are ordered chronologically and are separated with a semi-colon. For example:
  • (Weese et al. 2005; Strohmeyer et al. 2006; Schlesinger and Joffe 2011)

  • If the author is unknown (e.g., websites when only group authors are available), then ‘Anonymous’ is used.
  • Non-peer reviewed references (e.g. unpublished data, information retrieved from a website) should be less than two years old and marked with an asterisk in the reference list with a footnote denoting lack of peer review (e.g., *Non-peer reviewed).
