If there are three or more authors, then names for all authors should appear in the initial citation but subsequent citations may be abbreviated by replacing the second and later author narnes by the phrase 'etal.'. References to unpublished works or private communications should be avoided. No accompanying entry should appear in the final reference list unless publication has already been arranged. Each entry must be sufficient to allow an ordinary reader to locate the reference without undue difficulty. Entries should be arranged so that the textual citations can be located readily, i.e. ordered alphabetically by author name and then year.
Authors are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of all details of all references quoted.
Journal titles appearing in citations should be abbreviated in accordance with accepted standards. A relevant summary of these appears in Computing Reviews, 22. Sample abbreviations are aust. J., Datamation and IEEE Trans. Titles consisting of a single word are never abbreviated, and a leading The is usually omitted.
