matter which, as long as you do it consistently.
The full references should appear at the end of the
assignment listed numerically in the same order they were
cited in the text.The reference should contain:
• Author surname followed by initials
• Title of article
• Title of the journal
• Publication Date
• Volume number (Issue number in brackets if there is one)
• Page numbers…](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/referencinghelp-190307162608/85/Managing-those-references-referencing-help-for-your-MSc-project-19-320.jpg)
