Authors are formatted in the same way, like Smith A., Doe, J., Gates, W.,…
However, Year is not enclosed in parentheses in these styles. This is also a very pupular format, and many similar formats are available. Bibliography is usually sorted by “Author+Year”.

The last category of SG1 formats includes the formated used by Nature and subsidiary journals, and ACS (American Chemistry Soc.). These formats are all “Appearance” sorted bibliography.

This is “Vancouver” style and variants. Many biomedical journals including BMC use this format. They are almost always “Appearance order” bibliography, except for the one used by Am J Physiology. Because I use of this format frequently, I post many variations.
Generally, Vancouver style looks like this:
Authors are formatted like, Smith AG, Doe JC, Gates WA, …
Then, title journal year volume page follows.
Depending on the journal/publisher, each element is emphasized by bold and/or italic. Issue number is often included, but authors very often disregard issue number, and they are not shown in the actual references in articles.

More Vancouve variants. BMC uses Vancouver without issue number, but BMC Neuroscience has issue number. Practically, they are all the same because authors often dismiss issue number anyway.

I have only one example. Obviously, in academic documents, surname comes first. It makes sense not many journals use this format.

AJP (American Journal of Physiology) used to be this format. Accounting and Finance related journals use this fomat. I personally think this is a “weird” style, and very confusing format to find out authors’ names because the author line looks like this:
Turner, N. A., S. Ho, P. Warburton, D. J. O’Regan, and K. E. Porter.
You need to know exactly the rule to find out the first and second authors’ initials.
Bibliography is sorted by “Author+Year+Title”.
