Section B
Quick Recap on Citations:
Use last name only – (Michael Adams, 2010) should be
(Adams, 2010).
Difference on the use of “and” between author-prominent
and info-prominent citations.
Adams and Ali (2010) | (Adams & Ali, 2010)
Alphabetical order of multiple citations used at the same
time. (Ziela & Adams, 2010; Andy, 2012; Lee, 2013) should
be (Andy, 2012; Lee, 2013; Ziela & Adams, 2010).
Multiple citations from the same author but different years.
We split the years using comma (,) not semi-colon (;).
E.g. Adams (2010, 2014). = this means you are citing two
sources by Adams at the same time.
Citations involving 3 to 5 authors = make sure you
remember that 1st time usage, we list all names. But after
that, just use et al.
