Each entry must include complete and accurate details according to the journal's referencing standards. Correspondingly, every entry listed in the References section must be cited within the main body of the text. It is essential that the author's surname, the publication year, and the total number of entries match perfectly in both locations.

First Mention: Holmberg, Orbuch, & Veroff (2004) stated that... or ... (Holmberg, Orbuch, & Veroff, 2004)
Subsequent Mentions: Holmberg et al. (2004) stated that... or ... (Holmberg et al., 2004)
Six or More Authors: State the surname of the first author followed by "and colleagues" when appearing in the narrative, or "et al." when appearing in parentheses, followed by the year of publication (A.D.).
Example: (Paul et al., 1999) or Paul et al. (1999) suggested that...
Institutional or Organizational Authors:
Example: ... (Australian Research Council, 1996)
If the institution or agency has an acronym, include the acronym in brackets alongside the full name in the first citation. For subsequent citations, use only the acronym.
First Mention: ... (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare [AIHW], 2005)
Subsequent Mentions: ... (AIHW, 2005)
Anonymous Author: If the author's name is not available, use the word "Anonymous" in place of the author's name.
Example: (Anonymous, 1999)
Missing Publication City, Publisher, or Year: Follow the author naming conventions in points 1–5. For missing information, use the following abbreviations:
No place of publication: Use "n.p."
No publisher: Use "n.p."
No date: Use "n.d."
Example: Miller (n.d.) found that... or ... (Miller, n.d.)
Secondary Source (Indirect Citation): State the original author's surname and year, followed by "(cited in [secondary author's surname], [year of the secondary source])".

Mixed Thai and Foreign Authors: List Thai authors first (alphabetized), followed by foreign authors (alphabetized).
Multiple Works by the Same Author: List the author's name followed by the years of publication ordered from oldest to newest, separated by a semicolon (;).
Example: (Wiratchai, 1999; 2002)
Multiple Works by the Same Author in the Same Year: State the author's surname and the year (A.D.) followed by the letters a, b, c, etc., corresponding to the order in the References list.
Example: Jackson (2009a) ... then later ... Jackson (2009b) or (Jackson, 2009a, 2009b)
