REFERENCE MANAGEMENT
English Community Journal (ECJ) follows the American Psychological Association (APA) 7th Edition referencing style for all in-text citations and reference lists. Authors must ensure that citations and references are accurate, complete, consistent, and properly formatted according to the journal's Author Guidelines.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero to organize references and manage citations. By integrating these applications with word-processing software and selecting the American Psychological Association 7th Edition citation style, authors can generate and format citations and reference lists more efficiently.
Authors should prioritize relevant, credible, and recent scholarly sources, particularly peer-reviewed journal articles. Where available, Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) must be included in the reference list using the format https://doi.org/xxxxx.
Authors remain fully responsible for verifying the accuracy, completeness, relevance, and consistency of all citations and reference entries, including those generated automatically by reference management software. All works cited in the manuscript must appear in the reference list, and every reference listed must be cited in the text.
