    What referencing style is this? It looks a bit like science but not quite- anyone know? Thanks!

    That's APA referencing.

    Thanks, doesn't seem to be APA- unless there's more than one style? APA has the initial after the name, this one has it before.

    Hmmm, I see what you mean.

    Check the APA website (American Psychological Association) to see if variations on the structure is permitted. If it's not APA, it's an extremely close derivative.

    Well there you go, it's the Chicago author-date form of referencing.

    Never heard of it. :)

    I just went to the Journal's (Behaviour & Information Technology) homepage, looked at the author guidelines, in there I found the referencing style, link here.

    Is it? I'm trying to find examples of it and they seem to list the surname first like APA- http://library.williams.edu/citing/styles/chicago2.php

    I'm confused!!

    You know what, ignore me.

    I went to the journal for that first reference. That doesn't mean that journal uses the same referencing style as to paper in which you found those references does. There is a chance that they may be in different fields and therefore use different referencing systems.

    So, let's rewind - the paper in which the two quotes above - what journal does it appear in?
