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.
