The reference system in Wildpro is as follows:
B – Book (except for older books, these publications have an ISBN)
J – Journal (peer-reviewed; these publications have an ISSN)
M – Miscellaneous Documents (often internal publications of organisations; may be available on the Web. Do not have an ISBN or ISSN)
N – Newsletter / Magazine (not known to be peer-reviewed; some of these publications have an ISSN)
P – Proceedings (of conferences, courses etc.)
Th – Theses (Theses produced for higher degrees: PhD, MSc etc)
V – Personal Communication
W – Organisations and Websites
J1.20.w3 used as an example
- The first part of the number (J1) is the code allocated for that Journal within Wildpro (Journal of Wildlife Diseases in this example).
- The second part of the number indicates the VOLUME of the journal (J1.20. indicates volume 20 of J1)
- The third part of the number, prefixed “w”, is the Wildpro number allocated to that individual paper to give it a unique reference code, therefore J1.20.w3 means that this is the third paper referred to in volume 20 of Journal of Wildlife Diseases.
Coding used in Books
B201.1.w1 and B209.21.w21b used as examples.
- The first part of the number (B201) is the code allocated for that Book within Wildpro (The Veterinary Formulary Fifth Edition in this example).
- The second part of the number indicates the chapter within the Book, if chapter numbers are used in the book (B201.1. indicates chapter 1 of book B201). In some
books chapter numbering is complex and this is reflected in the book numbering within Wildpro. Some books are divided into sections but these are not numbered in the book. In such cases no chapter number is given within Wildpro.
- The third part of the number, prefixed “w”, is the Wildpro number allocated to that individual chapter or (where different sections of a chapter are written by different authors), section of a chapter. This is often, but not always, the same as the chapter number. In books with complex chapter numbering, different parts of the same chapter, if they have different authors, have different Wildpro “w” numbers. For books divided into sections but not numbered, the “w” numbers generally correspond to the order of the (unnumbered) sections within the book. Therefore “B201.1.w1” is the first chapter of B201, while B209.21.w21b is the second section within Chapter 21 of B209 (Infectious Diseases of Wild Mammals Third Edition), since this chapter is divided into un-numbered sections written by different authors.
N1.69.w1 used as an example
- The first part of the number (N1) is the code allocated for that newsletter or magazine within Wildpro (Avicultural Magazine in this example).
- The second part of the number indicates the VOLUME of the newsletter or magazine (N1.69. indicates volume 69 of N1)
- The third part of the number, prefixed “w” is the Wildpro number allocated to that individual paper or article to give it a unique reference code, therefore N1.69.w1 means that this is the first paper referred to in volume 69 of Avicultural Magazine.
P1.1991.w2, P2.29.w1 and P3.1999b.w1 used as examples
- The first part of the number (P1) is the code allocated for that set of proceedings within Wildpro (Proceedings of the Annual meetings of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians in this example).
- The second part of the number indicates the VOLUME or YEAR of the proceedings: volume numbers are provided where used, otherwise the year is used: P2.29. or P1.1999. If there are two meetings a year and no volume numbers then the proceedings for the year are designated “a” “b” etc. thus: P3.1999b. (for the second meeting in 1999)
- The third part of the number, prefixed “w”, is the Wildpro number allocated to the individual paper or abstract to give it a unique reference code, therefore P1.1991.w2 means that this is the second paper referred to in the 1991 proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the American Association of Zoo Veterinarians.
D135 used as an example
- The first part of the number (D1) is the code allocated for that document within Wildpro. This may be the whole of the reference, particularly for short documents.
- For longer documents divided into sections as with chapters in a book, coding is similar to that for a book: D135.1. is the first chapter within D135.
- The last part of the number, prefixed “w”, is the Wildpro number allocated to that individual part of the reference. This is often, but not always, the same as the chapter number (if there are chapter numbers): e.g. D135.1.w1.
Coding used in Theses
Th6.5.w5 used as an example
- The first part of the number (Th6) is the code allocated for that Thesis within Wildpro (“Life on the Edge: Hedgehog traffic victims and mitigation strategies in an anthropogenic landscape” in this example).
- The second part of the number indicates the chapter or section within the thesis: Th6.5. for the fifth chapter of this thesis.
- The third part of the number, prefixed “w”, is the Wildpro number allocated to that individual chapter or section to give it a unique reference code, as with books this is usually the same as the chapter number, therefore Th6.5.w5 refers to the fifth chapter/section of Thesis 6.
W425.27Mar03.CWD4 used as an example
- The first part of the number (W425) is the code allocated for that Website within Wildpro (Wyoming Game and Fish in this example).
- The second part of the number indicates the date on which the website section was referenced (27th March 2003 in this example; sometimes only the month and year is noted).
- The third part of the number, prefixed “w”, is the Wildpro number allocated to that individual section of the website (“Chronic Wasting Disease- What is it? by Terry Kreeger”) to give it a unique reference code, since several sections of the website may be referenced on a given date.
