(<http://www.councilscienceeditors.org>) in the seventh edition of their reference book, Scientific Method and Format: A Policy Agenda for Writers, Editors, and Publishers (2006) and by Selecting the Policy-Year-Name Method Is.
1. Refer to the reference by mentioning the name (s) of the author (s) followed by the year of publication. Use two arcs () in each reference to separate the name and date. Leave a space after the name, but do not comma:
The latest research on the intensity of rainfall in this region (Sipion, 2015) shows that. . .
2. If the author's name is part of a sentence, put only the date in two arcs ():
Hagihara and Inu (2014) found that. . .
3. Work done by more than two authors: Write the name of the original author, then the phrase "et al." And then the date.
(Hagihara et al., 2013)
4. More than two things an author has done: Name the author and then the dates in chronological order. Put a comma and a space to separate dates:
Weil (1978, 1980, 1983) described different models of flood estimation.
5. More than two works done by an author in a year: Use the letters of the alphabet (a, b, and the like) to distinguish between printed references of an author in a year. Also maintain this order when listing them in the Rereferences section.
Rush (2000a, 2000b) acknowledged that. . .
6. Works published by an organization instead of the author: Write the name of the organization or group before the publication date.
