Note the following:
1. Within the same paragraph, you need not include the year after the first citation.

2. When work is authored by two, always cite both names every time the reference occurs in the text.

3. When a work has more than two authors but fewer than six authors, cite all authors the first time the

reference occurs, and subsequently include only the surname of the first author followed by “et. al.”

When the work is authored by six or more authors, cite only the surname of the first author followed by

et al. and the year for the first and subsequent citations.

5. Join the names in a multiple-author citation in running text by the word and. In parenthetical material,

in tables, and in the reference list, join the names by an ampersand (&).
6. When a work has no author, cite in the text the first two or three words of the article title. Use double

quotation marks around the title of the article. Example: While examining unions (“ with GM pact,

2000”)

7. When a work’s author is designated as ‘Anonymous,” cite in the text, the word Anonymous followed

by a comma and the date: (Anonymous,1979). In that reference list, anonymous work is alphabetized by

the word Anonymous.

8. When more than one author has to be cited in the text, these should be in the alphabetical order of

the first author’s surname, and the citations should be separated by semi colons: In the job design

literature (Aldag & Brief, 1996; Alderfer, 1999; Beatty, 2000; …), …

only and not included in the reference list since these are not retrievable data. In the text, provide the

communication, May 14,2005) feels …
