Citation

The article applies APA 6^th Edition Format. References in the body of the article use parentheses. If the direct quotation is fewer than 40 words, it should be incorporated into your paragraph and enclose it in double quotation marks. David Copperfield starts with "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show" (Dickens, 1869, p. 1). If the quotation comprises 40 or more words, it should be displayed in an indented, freestanding block of text, without quotation marks. At the end of a block quotation, cite the quoted source and the page number in parentheses, after the final punctuation mark.

Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. (Dickens, 1896, p. 1)

In-text citation (enclosed in parentheses), which appear in the body articles, should contain the last name of the author(s) and the year of publication: (Saukko, 2003) is used for works by one author; (Shabanirad & Marandi, 2015) is used for works by two authors; (Paradis et al., 2016) is for works by three or more authors, only the last name of the first author is used, followed by ‘et al’.
