References Management

All references cited in the article should be compiled in a dedicated section following a consistent and recognized citation style, the APA (American Psychological Association) 7th edition referencing style. Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management software (Mendeley) to ensure accuracy and consistency in citation formatting.

In Mendeley, users can select “APA 7th edition” as the citation style from the settings menu. The reference list should include at least ten recent and relevant sources—preferably from the last five years—consisting of peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and credible institutional reports. All in-text citations must correspond precisely to the entries in the reference list.

Each reference should be formatted as follows:
