Post Graduate Health & Nursing: Websites & Official Documents

These journal articles typically don't have authors, so we put the title in the author position.

When there is no author, you need to put the title in-text, but you can shorten it, as this is an unitalicised title, we put in quotation marks, and we use title case in-text (but sentence case in the reference list).

For these, we put the name of the pharmaceutical company that sponsors the product as the author, you can find this at the bottom of the document under "Sponsor".

As these are technically book chapters, we follow a similar format to a "chapter in an edited book".

How you reference these can change depending on the type of document.

If it is something that your reader won't be able to access as it is on the intranet, or a patient's records, for example, then you can just treat it as "personal communication". 

Some guidelines and the like that are handouts or brochure type resources, we can follow the brochure format. 

NOTE:  When citing items from Te Whatu Ora when referring to an actual patient, make sure your patient's anonymity is intact; for example, if you say that they were at the Waikato Hospital and you describe their condition, their family etc., even if you've used a pseudonym they may still be identifiable.

Just write these as they are, the date is included in the title, so you don't need to add it in brackets.

Format

If you are referencing te reo Māori treaty, then reference it as Te Tiriti o Waitangi and if you are referencing the English one then reference it as such.  Use the URL to the source you used.
