| Description: |
When writing assignments you have to cite or acknowledge the source of your ideas and quotes in sufficient detail so that lecturers, and others, can locate the item. Before you start your assignment, check with your lecturer/tutor for their preferred referencing style. Use this guide if your lecturer/tutor states that you should use the Australian Veterinary Journal style of referencing. The Australian Veterinary Journal uses a numbered referencing style. A citation in the body of the text is marked using a number. The full citation details for the item are found in a reference list at the end, with the same number in front of it. The numbered reference list contains all of the works cited, in the order that they appear in the text. In-Text Citation Number in-text references consecutively, in the order they appear, using superscript Arabic numerals (ie–1,2,3) after any punctuation marks with no space in between. If more than one work is cited at the same time, separate each with a comma. If three or more are cited, and they are consecutive, separate them with a hyphen. If a work already cited is used again, use the same number as the first instance. (It will only appear once in the reference list regardless of the number of times it is cited.)
