Format of referencing:
When you are citing a reference follow the author-date method of in-text citation.
This means that the author’s last name and the year of publication for the source should appear in the text, and a complete reference should appear in the reference list at the end of the paper.
Williams et al., (2002) suggest that …
Jones (1998) compared student performance …
In a recent study of student performance (Jones, 1998),…
In 1998, Jones compared student performance …
If you have two references of same authors and same year then list these ones by adding a letter at the end of the publication year in the ascending order:
Jones (1998a) and Jones (1998b) compared student performance …
If there is no author to cite, such as when you are citing a web page that lists no author, use an abbreviated version of the title of the page in quotation marks to substitute for the name of the author.
