References
PANTAO uses the author-date system from the APA 7th edition.
Intext citation
Citation should be in-text and parenthetical, and only be made to sources found in a works cited list that is to be attached to the end of the article. If the passage to which the citation is attached does not clearly indicate the source’s authorship, include it in the parenthetical citation; when authorship is clearly indicated, the date and page are sufficient. Direct quotations should be indicated by double quotation marks.
For example:
We think that “in order to explain the basis of the case for the equality of animals, it will be helpful to start with an examination of the case for the equality of women” (Singer 1975, 1).
This position is what Singer emphasized as the idea of “the rights of animals” (1975, 1).
If an entry has multiple authors, use comma to separate author’s name and the date, only to separate date and page number(s). Separate additional references with a semi-colon, and where several works by a given author were published in the same year they should be distinguished alphabetically (1975a; 1975b).
