4. Citations, figures, tables, references

4.1 Citations within the text

Citations should follow the APA style (APA Online Guide, 2006). Authors must ensure that every citation in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa. The corresponding references are to be listed in alphabetical order using APA reference style at the end of the paper, in the References section.

Example references are given in this template for books with one author (Baxter, 1997), conference papers (Binh et al., 1998), journal articles (Baldwin et al., 2000), and books with editors (Stock and Campbell, 2000). For electronic references without authors, the reference is cited using the web page title, along with date of accessing the page. The University of Wisconsin Writing Center provides a good resource for questions about the APA style (University of Wisconsin-Madison's APA Guide, 2004).

Where there are two authors both should be listed separated by “and”. If there are three or more authors the first should be listed followed by “et al”. All and ONLY the sources referred to in the main text should be included in the references at the end of the document.

4.2 Figures

All figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1,2, 3…). Every figure should have a caption. All photographs, schemas, graphs and diagrams are to be referred to as figures. Line drawings should be good quality scans or true electronic output. Low-quality scans are not acceptable. Figures must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately. Lettering and symbols should be clearly defined either in the caption or in a legend provided as part of the figure. Figures should be placed at the top or bottom of a page wherever possible, as close as possible to the first reference to them in the paper.

The figure number and caption should be typed below the illustration in Times New Roman 12 pt, bold, sentence case and centred. If two images fit next to each other, these may be placed next to each other to save space. For example, see Fig. 1.

Fig 1. (a) First picture; (b) Second picture.

4.3 Tables

All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals and should be of a size adequate for clear understanding and placed in the text where appropriate. Every table should have a caption. Caption should be placed above table in Times New Roman 12 pt, bold, sentence case and centred. Tables must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately. Below is an example which the authors may find useful. Give one blank line before table caption.
