Author Guidelines

REFERENCES AND CITATIONS

It is essential that papers include citations demonstrating that the authors are aware of and have explored existing literature in the area both nationally and internationally. A complete list of references should appear at the end of the paper.

Both the in-text citations and list of references should be formatted according to the guidelines outlined below.

Use a numbered citation style, which includes in-text citations, numbered in square brackets, which refer to the full citation listed in the reference list at the end of the paper (please see reference list formatting guidelines below). The reference list is organized numerically, not alphabetically. Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. Do not use the numbered citation as part of the sentence.

Do not list sources in the reference list that are not cited in the text, and do not cite sources in the text that are not included in the reference list. Do not abbreviate journal names or conference titles. Please refer to the example reference list entries below for formatting guidelines.
