Basic format
If the author's last name appears in the citation, then only the year in parentheses is required. No need to include the year in subsequent references, as long as the study is not confused with other studies cited in the article:
According Strahler (1989) environmental most basic aspects relate to the approximately spherical shape of the earth and its movement ... Strahler also considers ...
Otherwise, place both the name and the year, separated by a comma, in parentheses. In subsequent citations within the paragraph the year should be included.
The most basic environmental issues relate to the approximately spherical shape of the earth and its movement (Strahler, 1989). Strahler (1989) also considers ...
In the case where both the year and the author are provided as part of the text, do not add information in parentheses:
In 1989, Strahler mentioned...
Multiple Authors
When a work has only two authors, use both of their names each time their work is cited. For three, four or five authors, refer to all authors in the first citation, then use the first author's last name followed by the abbreviation "et al." (not italicized and with a period after "al" in all subsequent citations. Add the year in the first citation:
Buzai, Baxendale, Mendoza and Bosoer (2006) consider the procedure, called Cluster Analysis as a tool leading to obtaining a dynamic regionalization ... [first citation in the text]
Buzai et al. (2006) argue that the Linkage Analysis generates a unique result .... [as first citation per paragraph thereafter]. Buzai et al. claim that these alternatives ... [omit the year in subsequent citations after the first citation without parenthesis in the paragraph].
Include the year in subsequent citations in case the first citation in the paragraph is in parenthesis:
The procedure called Cluster Analysis is a tool that leads to obtaining a dynamic regionalization (Buzai, Baxendale, Mendoza and Bosoer, 2006). Also Buzai et al. (2006) consider ...
For six or more authors, use the first author's last name followed by the abbreviation 'et al'. If two references bear the same form when reduced, cite the surnames of the first authors and as many of the subsequent authors as necessary to differentiate one reference from the other, followed by coma and 'et al'.
If a reference list contains publications by two or more principal authors with the same last name, include the initials of the first author in all citations in the text, even if the year of publication differs, so that the reader can locate the entry in the reference list.
Multiple Authors Cited Together
Order the citations of two or more works within the same parentheses in the same order in which they appear in the reference list. If they are written by the same authors, arrange them according to the year of publication. In the case of works by the same author with the same date of publication, identify them by placing the suffixes a, b, c, d, etc after the year. Suffixes are assigned in the reference list, where these types of information sources are sorted alphabetically by title (article, chapter or complete work).
Personal Communication
Personal communication may refer to private letters, memos, e-mails, group discussion, messages in the electronic advertisement section) telephone conversations, interviews, etc.
Interviewee's last name (personal communication, day, month, year)
Citations for this type of material are not included in the reference list because they do not contain recoverable data. Those citations which are recoverable should be considered archival materials and must be included in the reference list with the following format:
Author, A. A. (Day, month, year) Title of the resource. [Description of the resource]. Name of the compilation (Classification number, box number, or file name, etc.). Name and place of the file.
Personal communications that cannot be recovered, such as interviews that are not archive material, should only be cited in the text.
Direct citations from sources (textual)
Write citations between quotation marks and add the number page/s (Author's surname, year of publication: page number). If the citation is from an internal part of a paragraph, after closing quotation marks immediately cite the source in parenthesis and continue the sentence:
In interpreting the results, Buzai et al. (2006) found that "the spatial distribution of the maximum values are located mainly in those spatial units that are located on the periphery of Gran Buenos Aires" (p. 128), which suggests that ...
If the citation appears at the end of the sentence, close the passage with quotation marks and note the source in parentheses immediately and end with a period or any other punctuation mark outside the final parenthesis:
We want to point out that "methodological applications made in the study area are based on a matrix considering quantitative multivariate approaches" (Buzai et al., 2006, p. 125).
If it is longer than 40 words, in a separate paragraph, size 10 and 1 cm from the preset margins, in quotes:
According to the results obtained in the associations of variables could then expect those spatial units with high values of density of population and people living in apartments, high percentages of urban population are also presented, along with high rates of population to 15 years with medium and high educational levels, good condition in the water supply and sewage sanitation and aging population structure type (Buzai et al., 2006, p. 131).

- Both figures and tables should be embedded in the text. They can be rendered in color scales for the on-line version; however, keep in mind that the printed version renders in black and white only. Photographs should be restricted to those providing new information to the text.
Quality of the figures: the figure size should not exceed the printed page box (12.5 x 20.6 cm) and the figure resolution should not be less than 300 dpi (1476 x 946 pixels, approximately). Text in figures should be in Times New Roman, size 8 to 11..
Quality of tables and graphs: all tables and graphs must be editable (Excel, Word). Images of tables and graphs will not be accepted. References in black and white printing must be legible. In grayscales it is suggested to use preferably dot or line patterns.
- Reference list
The reference list should appear at the end of the manuscript according to the rules of style of the American Psychological Association (APA). The list should show indented entries (French style), contain only references documenting the article, and provide recoverable data. It should not include personal communications such as letters, memoranda or informal electronic communications, which should only be mentioned in the text.
