 Eg. Lowry, O.H.,Rosebrough, N.J., Farr, A.L., Randall, R.J. (1951). Protein measurement withthe Folin phenol reagent. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 193, 265-275.

 

Fortextbooks:

Last name of first author, initials, last name of second author,initials, last name of third author, initials [continue for all authors]. (YearPublished). Title of Textbook, Edition. City Published in: Name of PublishingCompany.
