REFERENCES MANAGEMENT

IJEBAR requires authors to maintain accuracy, consistency, and completeness in managing references. All citations and bibliography entries must follow the journal’s required format and meet international academic standards.

1. Citation Style
Authors must use the APA referencing style for both in-text citations and the reference list.

2. Use of Reference Management Software
Authors are strongly encouraged to use reference management tools such as:

• Mendeley

• Zotero

• EndNote
  to ensure accuracy and formatting consistency.

3. Quality and Relevance of Sources

• References must consist primarily of recent and relevant scholarly sources, preferably from the last 10 years.

• Authors should prioritize journal articles, books, and reputable academic publications.

• Excessive self-citation or citation of non-academic sources is discouraged.

4. Consistency and Verification
All references cited in the manuscript must appear in the reference list, and every item in the reference list must be cited in the text. Authors are responsible for verifying the accuracy of each citation, including author names, publication year, title, and DOI (if available).

5. Plagiarism Prevention
Proper citation of all ideas, data, and borrowed material is mandatory. Failure to cite appropriately may be considered plagiarism and will result in rejection.
