Citing publications. When a publication is referred
to in the text, enclose the authors’ names and the yearof publication within round brackets, e.g., (Kyoto andShiga, 1994). For one author, use author’s surname and theyear (Osaka, 1996). For two authors, give both names andthe year (Kyoto and Shiga, 1994). For three or more authors, use the first author, plus “et al.,” and the year (Kobeet al., 1995a).
