References

Please very carefully check all references - the most frequent reason for delays in publication of papers is revision to correct incorrect references, or mismatched citations versus the reference list.

References in the text should be with the author's last name and year of publication in parentheses (Peters, 1996). Two authors should be included in the text as follows: (Peters & Smith, 1996) and three or more authors as (Peters et al., 1996). A list of references should follow the article with references listed alphabetically as follows: surname, initials, date, article or chapter title (if appropriate), book or journal title, volume and issue (for journals), page numbers (for journals or book chapters), publisher, place of publication and edition (for books).
