APA style

APA style for presenting bibliographic references

Bibliographic references will be included in the body text in two ways: as a narrative (only the year of publication, eg: family name (year) is enclosed in parentheses); and as a reference (the author’s family name and the year are enclosed in parentheses, example: (family name, year)). In cases of articles co-authored by more than two authors, the name of all of them must be expressed the first time, and then only the first one followed by “et al.”.

TAll references that are named in the body of the article must be included in the list of references. Likewise, all the references in the list must be named in the body of the document.

For references that have DOI, it must be included at the end of each one. The format is https://doi.org/10 .....

The list of references should be included at the end in alphabetical order, for which the following style must be taken into consideration:

  • Journal article
