If there is more than one paper from the same author for a given year, these references should be identified by the letters a, b, c…, after the year of publication (For example: Jensen, 1998a; 1998b; 1999). See Appendix 1 for details on references.
Tables and figures: All tables and figures (graphs, photographs, maps, etc.) should be numbered in the order of their citation in the text.
