What is this?

0Hi,02br

00I see something like the one in parenthesis at the end of a sentence that seems to have been picked up from an author's work or writing. How would a reader expected to know which book it is being referred to when the content in parentheses only notes the identity (ie, name) and what seems to be the year (I don't know what that year refers to)?02br
