References
Citation in the text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice
versa). The abstract must not contain any citations. Cite references in the text by name and year
in parentheses. Some example:
• Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year
of publication, for example: (Chandrawanshi 2021).
• Two authors: both author’s names and the year of publication, for example: (Kumar and
Singh 2020).
• Three or more authors: first author's name followed by "et al." and the year of
publication, example: (Chandrawanshi et al. 2021); Kramer et al. (2000) have recently
shown.
• Groups of references should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted
chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the
same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of
publication, for example: (Allan 2019a, 2019b, 2020; Allan and Jones 2021; Kelso and
Smith 2021; Medvec et al. 2022).
Reference list
The references list should include works are cited in the text and have been published or accepted for
publication. Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference
list but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list; they should
follow the standard reference style of the journal and should include a substitution of the publication
date with either 'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication'. Citation of a reference as 'in press'
implies that the item has been accepted for publication. Reference list entries should be alphabetized
by the last names of the first author of each work.
