References

The authors must include a list of references cited in the full paper. The reference list should be arranged in alphabetical order and if there are multiple papers by the same authors then arrange them further in order of their year of publication. The following style and format should be followed for the referencing purpose: All references included in the list must be cited and vice-versa. The list should include only published documents and available in the public domain. The citations should be made by author name followed by the year of publication. In case the number of authors is more than two the first author’s surname should be suffixed with et. al. If there are multiple publications by the same author(s) in the same year then the year of publication should be suffixed with English alphabets (in the same sequence). For example, Kumar and Miller (2018) or Kumar et al. (2018) or Kumar et al. (2018a). For referencing websites, the full URL and the date when the URL was last accessed must be included. If the document uses data from public sources it must be included in the reference list.
