Citations in the text (in-text citations) are in parentheses and include the author's name and year of publication, separated by commas. The number of the cited pages can be put after the year of publication and it is also separated by commas.

It is best to avoid the abbreviations unless they are generally known. When they are cited for the first time, each abbreviation needs to be explained, i.e., stated as a complete phrase. The abbreviations in tables, graphs, and figures need to be explained.

Footnotes should be avoided and only used when it is necessary to give further explanation for a part of the text.

If you cite more than one paper of the same author, the earlier published ones should be cited first, then the latest, while the ones published in the same year should be cited in the alphabetical order according to the titles, e.g., (1995a), (1995b). In case they have no author, the title and the name of the institution takes the place of the author's name.
