References and citations should be consistent to American Psychological Association (APA) guideline:

  1. References in the text:

  • in the case of summary or paraphrase, references should appear in brackets with the author's name, followed by the year (Johnson, 2001), or (Johnson and Richardson, 2001) or (Johnson, Richardson and Smith, 2001) or, in the case of multiple authors (Johnson et al., 2001); if the author is not known, give the title of the work and the year (Climate Change, 2009);

  • in the case of quotation, add the page number, i.e. (Johnson, 2001, p. 10 or Johnson and Richardson, 2001, p. 13 or, Johnson, Richardson and Smith, 2001, p.25, or, for multiple authors, Johnson et al, 2001, p.30).

 

  1. References list to sources:

  • the list is placed at the end of the paper;

  • it must be typed double spacing, listed in alphabetical order, by family.

  • Names of the authors or editors; followed by the initial letter of the first names (Samuelson, P., Smith, A., Ricardo, D.) if the authors’ names are missing, the alphabetical order is given by the title.

  • in the case of the wide variety of electronic and online materials, the criterion is to include the most appropriate source indication: DOI (digital object information), if available; stable URL, or the name of the database. For undated materials, include the date the resource was accessed. Include the author, title, and date published when available.

  • the title of a journal, book, or report should be in italics.
