  • Where multiple organisations have authored the standard, each name should be separated by a semicolon rather than a comma. In EndNote this can be achieved by listing the organisations together on one line of the author field separated by semicolons, e.g. 'Standards Australia; Standards New Zealand,', with a comma placed behind the final organisation.
