Regardless of style, you will need the following details for everything you cite in your assignment:
- Who wrote it?
- When was it published?
- What’s the title?
- What are the publication details?
Each style takes this information and puts it into a structure.
The article cited here was downloaded from one of our databases, so we cite it as an electronic article - including the DOI*
Most electronic journal articles have them now, but older articles might not. or URL as appropriate. We have formatted the reference according to all of the main referencing styles used at JCU.

*What's a DOI?
A DOI is a "digital object identifier" - a unique code that belongs to an individual journal article or book chapter that has been electronically published.
It looks like this:
10.1016/j.biocon.2004.03.021
Or this: 10.1016/j.ecss.2005.11.026
Or this: 10.1007/s11852-012-0229-9
Or… well you get the idea.
