FORMAT FOR REFERENCE

Referencing:
The paper writing adopts the 6th Edition APA (American Psychological Association) referencing
system. References in the text should include author’s name and publication year.
Examples of citations in text :
One author (Bean, 1992); two authors (Graham & Krugman, 1989); more than two authors
(Bernanke et al., 1999) or
Bean (1992), Graham and Krugman (1989), and Bernanke et al. (1999).
In the case of more than two authors, write out all of the authors’ names the first time they
appear. Then use the first author’s last name followed by “et al.”
To cite secondary sources, refer to both sources in the text, but include in the References
list only the source that you actually used, for example,
(Braun, 2008, as cited in Fielder, 2008)
References must be listed in alphabetical order of first author at the end of the paper.
