But year is not enclosed in parentheses. This style is relatively rare.
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.
Authors are formatted like A. G. Smith, J. Doe, W. A. Gates, ...
They are always "Appearance" ordered. I've never seen "Author" sorted bibliography with this style. The first three are title-less format used by Science.
