The rules for in-text citations are the same as for the CSIRO style with the following exception:

Two or more authors:

When there are up to three authors for a single reference separate them with an '&'. When there are four or more include the first author followed by et al.

...after several extractions of soluble carbohydrates with water and 70–80% ethanol (Yemm, Graham & Willis 1954; Ruuska et al. 2006), which is very labour intensive.

A print version is also available.

Both the Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Crop & Pastures Science reference styles follow the same in-text citation format (CSIRO).

One author:

...can originate from both current assimilation in photosynthetic organs and from water-soluble carbohydrate (WSC) reserves in stems and leaf sheaths (Schnyder 1993).

Two or more authors:

...after several extractions of soluble carbohydrates with water and 70–80% ethanol (Yemm and Willis 1954; Ruuska et al. 2006), which is very labour intensive.

Page numbers: (use when citing from a book, large piece of work or referring to specific data)

…continuation region are separated by an unambiguous critical value P* or V* (Dixit and Pindyck 1994, p. 129).

Alternative method: (using the author in the paragraph)

...following the method of Raskin (1983) and the equations modified by Thomson et al. (1990).

Second-hand citations: (when you are unable to find the original paper to verify the details. You should only place the citing paper in your bibliography)

Clarke's 1992 study (cited in Brown 1995, p. 10) demonstrates that...

Additional Notes:

When there are two authors for a single reference separate them with an 'and'. When there are three or more include the first author followed by et al.

When there is more than one paper being cited separate them with a semi-colo (;) and place them in chronological order.
