The basics of a Reference List entry for a patent:
- Author or authors. The surname is followed by first initials.
- Year.
- Patent title (in italics).
- Patent number.
Example:
Kassiou, M, Jorgensen, W, Munoz, L & The University of Sydney 2018, Anti-cancer compounds, 2018900315.

- For patents the title may be more of a descriptive title rather than a formal title.
- Identifying elements such as patent/standard numbers should be included.
- If no individual author is available, a corporate author can be used in the in-text reference.
The basics of a Reference List entry for a standard:
- Author.
- Year.
- Standard title (in italics).
- Standard number.
- Publisher.
- Place of publication.
Example:
Standards Australia 2016, Quality management systems- requirements, AS/NZS ISO 9001:2016, Standards Australia, NSW.
