... this has been well documented in the literature [2-5].

The author's name can also be integrated into the text eg.

There are variations to the intext citation format:

either square [ ] or curved brackets ( ) can be used as long as it is consistent. superscripts are also sometimes used rather than brackets eg. ...was discovered.¹

References are listed in numerical order at the end of the paper:

1. Smith SD, Jones, AD. Organ donation. N Engl J Med. 2001;657:230-5.

2. Brown JG. Asphyxiation. Med J Aust. 2003; 432:120-4.
