Websites

We use an article from the website ‘dvm360’ as an example for in-text citations. Note that there are two authors; this does not change anything apart from needing to include two authors. The following orders should be used, depending on the situation:

• Surname (year of publication) Example:

  In their article, Tumblin and Materni (2013) describe the need for veterinary practice owners and managers to invest in their staff.

• (Surname, year of publication). Example:

  It is essential that, in this digital age, veterinary practices ensure not only that they have up-to-date contact information for their clients, but also that they are aware as to how their clients would prefer to be contacted (Tumblin & Materni 2013).

You should use the following order when including sources in the reference list: surname of author, initial of author, date of creation/last revised, Title, sponsor, place of sponsorship, date viewed, .

So, using the website ‘dvm360’ as an example, the reference list entry would appear as follows:

Tumblin, D. & Materni, C. (2013) 3 bad spending habits of veterinary practice owners and managers. Available at http://veterinarybusiness.dvm360.com/vetec/Veterinary+business/3-bad-spending-habits-of-veterinary-practice-owner/ArticleStandard/Article/detail/829731?contextCategoryId=46659. (Accessed: 20 December 2013)

Note that ‘place of sponsorship’ is not applicable here, as it is not provided on the website.
