  • References: Arrange the references in alphabetical order by author name. The references include documents cited in the article.

References Citation

References are cited by listing the author's name and the publication year in parentheses (); if there are 2 authors, use a comma (,), and for 3 authors or more, write the first author's name followed by et al., and the year, for example: (Nguyen Van A et al., 2013). When incorporating the author's name into the text, replace the comma (,) between two authors with the word "and," replace the term "et al." with "and colleagues," and enclose the year in parentheses; for example: Nguyen Van A and Pham Van B (2013), or Nguyen Van A and colleagues (2013).
