Most referencing seems to follow the format that has the Author first.
Different systems (Harvard, Chicago, APA) have the date in different
positions, within brackets or not. Different universities, and even
different departments within a UK university, may use different systems.
To see some examples of different styles, you could try the website
below.

If your user is referencing the guidelines for a university assignment,
they ought to check with their university department. If it's for
in-house use - they could make up their own rules! It's probably better
to go for an accepted standard, though.
Hope this helps.

Subject: referencing clinical practice guidelines
Dear all,
I was asked this morning how best to reference clinical practice
guidelines that are produced in-house by the Trust. I was a bit stumped
but suggested:
name of guideline, author (poss name of Trust), Date, url of guideline,
date downloaded.
Would anyone disagree with this or is there an official citation rule?
thanks
Sara
