-
The name of the author and the date of publication, can be indicated before or after the quotation. However, the page number needs to be placed in parentheses after the quotation.
Direct quote from a secondary source
-
Both references need to be indicated in the reference list.
Some authors recall that «the solution of elementary arithmetic problems has not been studied much by psychologists» (Vergnaud & Durand, 1976, as cited in Rouchier, 1994, p. 150).
Inserting references in the current text
Basic rules
For in-text citations the last name of the author and the date of publication should be in parentheses and separated by a comma. The author’s first name or his/her initials does not have to be included in the parentheses.
If the name and/or the date have a syntactic function in the sentence, they are inserted without parentheses.
Single author
The use of official teaching time varies according to classes of the same school level (Crahay, 1997).
In his review, Crahay (1997) stresses
In 1997, Crahay mentions again
Subsequent references to the same text within the same paragraph no longer require the mention of the year, as long as they cannot be confused with other texts by the same author also cited.
What teachers do and say seems to be determined more by contextual variables (Bayer, 1986).
Heuristically, Bayer proposes
Two authors
The names of both authors are always indicated, even if they are subsequent references within the same paragraph. In brackets, the names are linked by the ampersand &. In the text, by the conjunction et.
According to some authors (Hofstetter & Schneuwly, 1998)
According to Hofstetter and Schneuwly (1998)
Three to five authors
-
At the first reference, the name of all authors and the year are indicated.
-
In subsequent references, only the name of the first author, followed by et al. is indicated.
-
If references to different works are confusing because they have the same year and are shortened by the formula et al., mention as many authors' names as necessary to eliminate confusion.
Six authors and more
Only the name of the first author, followed by et al. and the year are given. In the reference list, all authors' names are specified.
We can conceive errors as transitory forms in the construction of... (Brun et al., 1994).
Two or more works in the same parentheses
The references are listed in alphabetical order, then in ascending chronological order if they are by the same author(s).
Several studies (Brown, 1992; Brown & Campione, 1990; Brown & Palincsar, 1982, 1989) show
Main reference followed by one or more secondary work(s)
The sense of this relationship it is not clear (Wosnita & Frey, 1998; see also Lens, 1994).
Two or more works by the same author of the same year
The suffixes a, b, c ,…are attached to the year. The suffixes are assigned according to the order of appearance in the list of references. Organization as an author (institution, association,...)
The organization name is given in full followed by the official acronym in square brackets, when mentioned for the first time. On subsequent references, only the acronym is given (unless the recall distance is too great to allow the reader to locate the name of the organization).
The data for Switzerland (Bundesamt für Statistik [BFS], 1995) show that.... If we consider the previous data (BFS, 1985), we can see that…
Translation
The year of publication of the original text and the year of the translation are given in parentheses, separated by /. If the year of the original text is unknown, it needs to be specified that the year used is the one of the translation.
Berger and Luckmann (1968/1986)
Berger and Luckmann (trans. 1986)
Two or more editions of a same publication
The analysis made by Jackson (1968/1990) on classroom life is still valid.
Reference List
Basic rules
-
The list must contain all and only the references cited in the text. In this sense, it is different from a bibliography, which offers the reader additional references.
-
Incomplete references or whose author's name and/or year of publication do not correspond to the reference inserted in the text will be returned to the author.
Order of the references
References are listed following the alphabetical order of authors' last names (if it is a group it should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author). For references without an author, the first letter of the first significant word of the title should be considered. For authors' names with a prefix, the first letter of the prefix is considered; this is always capitalized, being at the beginning of the entry. Multiples references of the same author(s) are listed in chronological order (from earliest to most recent) of the year of publication.
