BIBLIOGRAPHIC REFERENCES
For in-text references the author’s name and date of publication should be given if the entire work is referenced, when only a fragment of the work is referenced the page (or page range) should also be provided. For detailed guidelines, see examples below.
A. For single-authored works:
The name of the author and the date of publication of the work should always be provided, no matter how many times the work is referred to. If more than one work by the same author published in the same year has been referenced, consecutive letters of the alphabet should be added to the publication year (e.g. 2001a).
As claimed by Nowak (2001)...
The recent study results show that ... (Tomaszewski, 2001a).
For references to a particular fragment of a work, the page (or page range) should be given after the publication date followed by a colon.
As it is argued by Nowak (2001:15)...
It can be concluded that … (Tomaszewski, 2001:15-21).
If more than one author with the same last name is referenced, the first name initial should be added for clarification.
He claimed that … (Smith, A., 2001) … However, following the most recent theoretical proposal (Smith, B., 2005) …
B. For works by two authors:
The names of both authors and the date of publication of the work should always be provided, no matter how many times the work is referred to. If more than one work by the same authors was published in the same year, consecutive letters of the alphabet should be added to the entry. Authors’ names should always be linked with the conjunction “and” (or its equivalent, accordingly to the language of the submitted text).

The researchers’ previous works (Smith and Nowak, 1999) point to …

C. For works by three or more authors:
When referenced for the first time, the names of all authors should be listed, separated with commas and using the conjunction “and” between the two last names. For subsequent mentions of the same work, the name of the first author should followed by “et al.”
For works with more than 6 authors, only the name of the first author should be mentioned, both when the work is cited for the first time and in subsequent references, while the remaining authors are indicated by et al.
For the first mention:
As Nowak, Smith and Tomaszewski (2003) notice ...
The study (Nowak, Smith and Tomaszewski, 2003) demonstrates that ...
For subsequent mentions:
The study conducted by Nowak et al. (2003) shows that ...
This study (Nowak et al., 2003) ...
For references to a particular fragment of a work, the page (or page range) should be given after the publication date followed by a colon.
D. For referencing simultaneously multiple works:
Multiple works should be listed alphabetically (and chronologically), according to the name of the first author. References to subsequent works must be separated by a semicolon and placed in brackets. The years of publication of works by the same author/authors must be separated by a comma.

For references to a particular fragment of a work, the page (or page range) should be given after the publication date followed by a colon.
E. For citing after another author:

The research suggests that ... (Taylor, 1988; as cited in Langacker, 2000).
For references to a particular fragment of a work, the page (or page range) should be given after the publication date followed by a colon.
F. For works with no author – the title of the work is only provided (books, dictionaries - in italics; articles, chapters, websites in quotation marks). If the title is very long, only its beginning (3-4 first words) can be given. For other data (year, pages, etc.) the same rules apply as in the previous cases, e.g.:
Similar results were obtained by the American researchers (“Beehive updating job…” 2007).
FOOTNOTES
Footnotes have an expanding, not a referencing function. Footnotes should be used for additional content the inclusion of which in the main text would disturb it, although it significantly broadens the research context. Quotations in the footnotes should be used analogously to those in the main text.
