3. Citations and References

Anadolu Economics adheres to the APA reference style. View the Publication Manual of American Psychological Association or click here to get your manuscript conform to journal style of referencing.

Footnotes are not allowed for citations. Citations within the text should include the name of the author, the date of the source, and, if necessary, the page numbers you used. The rest of the information, such as the title and publication details, should be included in the bibliography.

References to other publications in your text should be written as follows:

Single author: (Adams, 2006)

Two authors: (Adams and Brown, 2006)

When referring to pages in a publication, use ‘p.(page number)’ for a single page or ‘pp.(page numbers)’ to indicate a page range.

Page numbers should always be written out in full, e.g. 175-179, not 175-9.

References should be written one line spaced and should be listed in alphabetical order by author's last name.

Reference entries should be arranged in alphabetical order by authors' last names followed by their initials.

Journal names should not be abbreviated.

One line space should be given between each Reference entry.

If the Reference list includes two or more entries by the same author(s), list them in chronological order with the earliest first.

If a reference would be ambiguous because it has the same author(s) and year as another reference, lower-case letters ("a", "b", etc.) should be placed immediately after the year, e.g. "(Jones 1983a, 1983b)".

References should include the DOI for all works that have one.

When the original date of publication of major classical works such as Marx and Freud are known, it should be include it in the references. e.g.: Freud, S. (1953). The method of interpreting .... (Original work published 1900)

For referencing books and reports, the publication place (city) should come first followed by the publisher's name. e.g.: Ankara: İmge; New York, NY: McGraw-Hill.
