In-text citation

When you summarise the main ideas from someone else in your own words, you are also expected to clearly acknowledge that someone else first wrote about the ideas you have summarised. Giving proper references shows that you have read the appropriate literature and are well informed (Devlin 2004, p. 23).

“A recommended solution to the problems that students experience is for THEM TO CHECK on how referencing is done in Books, Journal Articles …etc.” (Landau, Druen & Arcuri 2002, p. 113) .

The reference list is designed to provide information to enable each source that you have cited in text to be identified. The list should appear at the end of a work, under the heading ‘References’. The references should be listed alphabetically by the surname of the first author/editor or by the title if no author/editor is given.

Use the APA style as in the following examples :

Articles:

Haj Salem, N. & Chebat J.C. (2014). The Double-Edged Sword: The Positive and Negative effects of Switching Costs on Customer Exit and Revenge. Journal of Business Research, 67(6): 1106-1113.
