The family names of the authors are cited followed by the year and the page(s);


Example: McCarthy and Hatcher (1996, pp. 69-70) insist that with presentations „structure must be clear and precise”;
or
„Some thoughts are best left unsaid” when emotional issues cloud negotiation (Fisher, Ury and Patton, 1991, p. 37).

Citation of more than 3 authors of the same publication

• The family name of the first author is cited followed by „et al.” 
  

  Example: Morris et al. (2000, p. 47) state that „the debate of these particular issues should be left to representative committees”.
  

Citation of more publications of the same author in the same year

After citation of the year by small letters (a, b, c…) the respective publication is cited

Citation of institutional publication

Instead of the family name of the author the name of the institution is cited.

Citation of anonymous author

Instead of the family name of the author the title of the publication in italic is cited (encyclopedia, institutional; document etc.) followed by the year of the publication and the page(s) quoted. Example: The flora and fauna of Britain ‘has been transported to almost every corner of the globe since colonial times’ (Plants and Animals of Britain, 1942, p. 8).


 

Paraphrasing – Using their own words the authors often mention ideas and thoughts of other authors working in the same scientific field. The authors should be cited at the appropriate place in the text or at the end of the periphrases.
Example: Distinctive features of the cultures are communication and solidarity between people, orientation to inside or outside problems, the appreciation of stability or flexibility, the type of  the organizational structure (Anthony, Perrewe and Kacmar, 1999; Cole, 2002; Sotirova, 2003).

 

The electronic sources are cited in the text at the same manner as the written sources except the pages. If the author is not mentioned the name of the publication is cited as in the case when anonymous authors are cited.
Example: Updated Guide to the Harvard System of Referencing written by Library staff at Anglia Ruskin University ”is frequently cited as a valuable source on the Internet” (Harvard System of Referencing Guide, 2010).
