References

Formatting the reference list in general:
Left justify the text.
Use the hanging indent (½ inch) for all references.
Double space throughout. o Spell out all periodical names.
Do not use widow and orphan control.
Do not underline anywhere in the reference list.
Do not abbreviate or use acronyms for the names of organizations.
Use italics for periodical names and volume numbers, book titles, titles of references retrieved online, and journal names.
Include doi numbers, when available, for all references. Note: doi numbers all begin with the number 10. Use this format – doi:10.0000XXX-res
Author names should have a comma between the last name and the author's initials (e.g., Jimenez, G.). A comma is used before an ampersand, even if there are only 2 authors (e.g., Begay, A., & Patrick, J.).
The notation et al. is not used in reference lists.
If a manuscript has seven authors, list all seven with an ampersand (&) between the sixth and seventh authors.
If a reference has eight or more authors, list the first six authors, then use an ellipses (…) to represent authors between the sixth and final author. After the ellipses, list the final author's last name and initials. The final author is the final person in the list, not a program name or the name of a group/panel/board.
For titles in the reference list, capitalize only the first word, the first word after a colon, and proper nouns.

Citations.

When citing a reference in the text:

If the citation has six or more authors, use the first author's last name followed by "et al.," and the publication date (e.g., Jimenez et al., 2019).
If the citation has three to five authors, list all authors the first time and then use the first author's last name followed by "et al.," for all subsequent citations. • Citations with one or two authors should always list the authors' names (e.g., Adebowale, 2018; Li & Patrick, 2019).
If a citation is abbreviated to the last name of the first author, et al., and year, but can then be confused with another reference in the list, then include the second author's last name, and then the third, etc., until there is no confusion and the reader can clearly see the reference you are citing (e.g., Chen, Moon, Gonzalez, et al., 2018).
