Citations and references style

Citations will not be accepted from monographs, dissertations, theses, summaries and publications of the proceedings or annals of scientific events.

 Examples of Bibliographical References

The citations in the running text or between parentheses, and references to articles submitted to BJVM, must follow the current guidelines of the American Psychological Association (APA) (Reference Examples).

Citations in the text:

  • One author:

Mitchell (2017) or (Mitchell, 2017)

  • Two authors

Mitchell and Smith (2017) or (Mitchell & Smith, 2017).

  • Three or more authors:

Mitchell et al. (2017) or (Mitchell et al., 2017).

Exception:

For works published the same year with slight variation of authors, it will be necessary to include the names of the other authors until indicating the difference:

Kapoor, Bloom, Montez et al. (2017) or (Kapoor, Bloom, Montez et al., 2017).

Kapoor, Bloom, Zucker et al. (2017) or (Kapoor, Bloom, Zucker et al., 2017).

Hasan, Liang, Kahn, and Jones-Miller (2015) or (Hasan, Liang, Kahn, and Jones-Miller, 2015)

Hasan, Liang, Kahn, and Weintraub (2015) or (Hasan, Liang, Kahn, and Weintraub, 2015)

 

  • Entities as Authors:

When the author of a reference is an institution, governmental agency or other entity, mention the organization in the relevant sentence or in the citation between parentheses the first time the source is mentioned.

First citation:

World Health Organization (WHO, 2019) or (World Health Organization [WHO], 2019)

Subsequent citations:

WHO (2019) or (WHO, 2019)  

  • Two or more works in the same set of parentheses:

For cases of two or more works mentioned in the same set of parentheses, list them in alphabetical order and separate them with a semicolon.

Example: Various studies (Jones, 2012; Smith, 2009)

Authors with the same surname: use the initials of the first names with the surname to avoid confusion.

Example: (B. Smith, 2009; J. Smith, 2006).

  • Two or more works with the same authorship and year:

When there are two references by the same author(s) published in the same year, use lowercase letters (a, b, c) with the year to order them in the reference list.

Example: This is explained in the study of Smith (1999a).

[Note my slight changes in Capitalization of the items below. The main words in book titles should all be capitalized (other than after a colon), according to what I learned in school. However, that was 50 years ago, so if the style has changed, I stand corrected.]
