4. Findings, discussion and conclusion of the study
5. Appendices
6. References/citations

References/citations should be as per the most current APA style. This calls for citations to be indicated in the text by giving the name of the author(s),
the year of publication, and the relevant page numbers in parentheses following a quotation or reference, e.g.:
(Chandrasekharan, 2013, p. 45)
All cited works should be listed alphabetically at the end of the paper in APA standard format by author, then by year for each author, e.g.:
Bowman, J. H. (2007). OPACS: the early years, and user reactions. Library History 23(4),
317-329. doi:10.1179/174581607x254802
If more than one paper by the same author(s) from the same year are cited, add a, b, c, etc. after the year of publication, for example, "2013a".
Citations and references should strictly conform to the current edition of the APA style guide (see http://www.apastyle.org) for details.
Authors are responsible for checking the accuracy of their citations and ensuring that all in-text references appear in reference list at the end of the paper.
