Every in-text citation must appear in the reference list and vice versa. References should include only published or accepted works. Where available, data deposited in an online repository should be listed with its version and unique identifier. For accepted-but-unpublished works, use "in press" instead of page numbers. Unpublished data, submitted manuscripts, or personal communications are cited in text only where the article type allows, and personal contacts must be documented by a letter of permission.
In-text style (APA 7th). Cite by the first author's surname and year. Two authors: both surnames + year. More than two authors: first surname + et al. + year. Use a reference manager (Mendeley, Zotero, EndNote, etc.) with APA 7th formatting, and provide a retrieval link for each reference where possible.
