Detailed explanation-1: -Arrange entries in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author followed by the initials of the author’s given name(s). When alphabetizing names, disregard any spaces or punctuation marks in two-word surnames. Also disregard anything in parentheses or square brackets.
Detailed explanation-2: -Order: All references are listed by alphabetically by author, or title if there is no author; If there are two entries with identical authors but different dates, order them chronologically, earliest first.
Detailed explanation-3: -Last name first, followed by author initials.
Detailed explanation-4: -References by the same author (or by the same group of authors in the same order) are arranged by year of publication in the Reference list, with the earliest first. For references with the same author and year, the references are arranged alphabetically by title (ignoring “A” or “The").
