3. Acknowledgements (if relevant)

In-text Citations

Parenthetical citation examples

(Koehler, 2016)

(Koehler, 2016, p. 15)

(see Koehler, 2016, for more detail)

(e.g., falsely balanced news coverage; Koehler, 2016)

 

When citing multiple works parenthetically, place the citations in alphabetical order, separating them with semicolons:

(Adams et al., 2019; Shumway & Shulman, 2015; Westinghouse, 2017)

 

If multiple sources are cited within the narrative of a sentence, they can appear in any order:

Suliman (2018), Gutiérrez (2012, 2017), and Medina and Reyes (2019) examined . . .

 

Translated, Reprinted, Republished, and Reissued Dates

References to translated, reprinted, republished, or reissued works contain two dates in the in-text citation: the year of publication of the original work and the year of publication of the translation, reprint, republication, or reissue. Separate the years with a slash, with the earlier year first:

Freud (1900/1953)
(Piaget, 1966/2000)

 

Notes

--do not use footnotes, use endnotes

--in-text reference to endnotes: superscript numbers, not linked field but regular text

 

Appendix

--list appendix with Arabic numbers, like “Appendix 1” “Appendix 2”

--if there is only one appendix, do not use Arabic number 1, just label it “Appendix”.

 

References

Important points:

--Journal article titles and book titles use sentence cases, namely only the first word (and the first word of subtitle) should be capitalized.

--For book entries, do not include locations for publishers.

--Provide DOIs for all entries (including journal articles and books) if available. Do not put a period after a DOI or URL because it may interfere with link functionality.
