References
1. All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following
the text of the manuscript. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that
the spelling of author's names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the
reference list.
2. In the text refer to the author's name (without initial) and year of publication,
followed – if necessary – by a short reference to appropriate pages. Examples: "Since
Peterson (1988) has shown that..." "This is in agreement with results obtained later
(Kramer, 1989, pp. 12–16)".
3. If reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors the
name of the first author should be used followed by "et al.". This indication, however,
should never be used in the list of references. In this list names of first author and co-
authors should be mentioned.
4. References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically. The list of
references should be arranged alphabetically on author's names, and chronologically
per author. If an author's name in the list is also mentioned with co-authors the
following order should be used: publications of the single author, arranged according
to publication dates – publications of the same author with one co-author –
publications of the author with more than one co-author. Publications by the same
author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1974a, 1974b, etc.
5. Use the following system for arranging your references:
