German term or phrase: vbr/c't

Sorry, not really sure what broad category this should go under.

This abbreviation appears quite common at the end of a text/citation, but I haven't managed to find an explanation.

Here's the example in my context:
---
SISone4all wurde daher als Interimslösung konzipiert, bis SIS II nach dem offiziell korrigierten Zeitplan im Dezember 2008 anläuft. (Detlef Borchers) / (vbr/c't)
----

Thanks for your ideas.
