References:
A. Examples of citation in text
The use of an author's name (without initials) followed by a date or year of publication is used for references found in text.
For Single author's
Perry (2003) early proved that ... This is in agreement with the results obtained by several authors (Brown, 1999; Kramer, 2004; Smith, 2008).
For two author's
Zhang and Cheng (2001) reported that... This was later found to be incorrect (Kumar and Ahmed, 2000).
For three or more authors
When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by 'et al' as seen below.
Prince et al. (1990) stated that... Similar results were reported recently (Smith et al., 2003).
In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like 'a' and 'b' after the date to distinguish the works.
