When the author’s name appears in the text, cite as follows: Kennedy [Kennedy 2001].

When a source has two authors, give both names separated by a comma; if there are three or more authors, use “et al.” (e.g. [Evans et al. 2010]).

For institutional authorship use the following (without italics): [OECD 2001, 2002]. Distinguish more than one reference to an author in one year by using numbers in parentheses placed before the publication year: [Kennedy (1) 2001]. Enclose a series of up to three references within parentheses, separated by semicolons. List all references chronologically, then alphabetically [Kelly 1999; Dole 2002; Baker 2003].
