IEEE prints author initials before the surname and abbreviates the periodical title. Check the abbreviation for The Medical Journal of Australia against your target publication's reference list before submitting.
APA
Szer, J. (1999). Bone marrow transplant. The Medical Journal of Australia, 170(6), 258. https://doi.org/10.5694/j.1326-5377.1999.tb127745.x
APA puts the year directly after the authors, keeps the full journal title in italics, and renders the DOI as a URL.
BibTeX
@article{szer1999,

issn = {0025-729X},
doi = {10.5694/j.1326-5377.1999.tb127745.x}
}The citation key is the first author's surname and the year. Keep it stable once it appears in a draft, because renaming it breaks every cite that used it.
What to verify before you submit
- The volume and page range. The Medical Journal of Australia records 153,042 works, and articles published online first can carry a different volume from the final issue. Cite the version you read.
- The abbreviated title. IEEE style uses standard periodical abbreviations, and registry metadata almost always returns the full name instead.
- Author name order. Registry records store full given names; IEEE and APA both want initials, formatted differently from each other.
- Whether the article is open access. This journal is not fully open access, which affects whether a reader can reach the version you cited.
- That the source supports your claim. A correctly formatted reference says nothing about whether the passage backs the sentence citing it.

Questions about The Medical Journal of Australia
What is the ISSN of The Medical Journal of Australia?
The linking ISSN is 0025-729X. The journal also carries 1326-5377, which usually separate the print and electronic editions. Use the linking ISSN in a BibTeX issn field.
Who publishes The Medical Journal of Australia?
Wiley publishes it. 53 journals covered here come from the same publisher, and they do not all share one reference style, so check the requirements for this title rather than the publisher.
Is The Medical Journal of Australia open access?
OpenAlex does not record it as fully open access. Some articles may still be open individually, so check the specific article rather than assuming from the journal.
How do I cite an article from The Medical Journal of Australia in LaTeX?
Use the BibTeX entry above as the pattern. The entry type is article, the journal field holds the full title, and the citation key szer1999 follows the first author's surname and the year. Brace any acronym in the title so your bibliography style does not lowercase it.
Does The Medical Journal of Australia use page numbers or article numbers?
The example article runs from page 258, so this journal used page ranges at least for that volume. Newer issues in many journals switched to article numbers, so check the version you are citing.
How influential is The Medical Journal of Australia?
Its h-index is 262, above 13% of the journals covered here, and its articles have been cited 786,699 times in total. Its two-year mean citedness is 3.08. These are indexing figures, not a judgement of whether a specific article is sound.
Does The Medical Journal of Australia have a Journal Impact Factor?
Not one shown here. The Journal Impact Factor is Clarivate's metric, published in Journal Citation Reports and readable only with a JCR subscription, so this page does not restate it. The figures above come from OpenAlex: an h-index of 262 and a two-year mean citedness of 3.08 across 153,042 indexed works, captured on 2026-09-18. Mean citedness averages citations per work over a two-year window, which makes it closer in construction to CiteScore than to the Impact Factor. The three are not interchangeable, so quote whichever one your target venue actually asks for.
