When several publications are included consecutively, they shall be listed in chronological order and separated by semicolon (;). If two or more publications are dated in a same year, alphabetical order will be the second listing criteria.
In case of literal transcriptions, text shall be cursive typed inside inverted commas, and reference page/s could be included in the quoted reference, as follows: Name (year, p. xx), (Name year, pp. xx-xx).
7. The list of references at the end of the paper should only include the contributions that were quoted in the previous text and that have been published or accepted for publication.
