If the figure occupies more than one page, the continued figure on the following page
should indicate that it is a continuation: for example:’ Figure 3.1 continued’.
If the figure contains a citation, the source of the reference should be placed at the
bottom, after the label.
How to Quote Literature References
Much frustration and waste of time can be avoided by making sure that references are
always clear and accurate. This implies that you should include sufficient detail to
enable the reference to be identified without recourse to further searching. Author and
title are just not enough. Also, make a habit of recording the full details of the reference
at the time you use it.
The suggestions outlined here may be followed unless you have been told otherwise. In
the text, you refer to references by name (without initials) and year as illustrated in the
following passage:
Advertising critics believe that advertising contributes to the rise in materialism among
consumers (Bursteins, 1981; Pollay, 1986; Rositter, 1980). It is said to have shaped our
way of life (Belk and Pollay, 1985b, Standfield and Standfield, 1980).
Whenever you quote a paper in a text written by two authors you must use both their
names. Where there are more than two you give all their names the first time, but
thereafter the first name only followed by “et al”. You may refer to specific page in a
work by putting the page numbers after the year, e.g., Martindale (1972, pp.57-85). If
the author is not named, you use the corporate author, e.g., Monopolies Commission,
or title instead. Avoid the use of footnotes, if possible. List reference in alphabetical
order at the end of your text under the headings: “Reference” or “Bibliography”. Include
only those references cited in the text. When referring to more than one paper by the
same first-name author in the same year, you add a,b,c, etc., after the
year,e.g.,1976a,1976b.
The following examples show you how to give references for the bibliography which will
appear at the end of your text.
