AGLC4 Rule 7.2.2: Research Papers and Working Papers

A research or working paper with its own identifier, as is common in university series, keeps that identifier exactly as it appears on the paper.

AGLC4 page 111

Formatting

  • The identifier after No is copied as printed, including any slash and year, with no reformatting.
  • The institution names the faculty, centre or unit first and then the university or body, separated by a comma.
  • Two authors are joined by and; three or more take commas with and before the last.
  • A pinpoint precedes any URL, and the URL sits in angle brackets after a space.
  • A paper later published as a book is cited as a book under chapter 6.
