Researchers have pointed out that the lack of trained staff is a common barrier to
providing adequate health education (Fisher, 1999) and services (Weist &
Christodulu, 2000).

The close of the millennium was marked by a deep suspicion of the natural world
and an increasing reliance upon the pronouncements of soothsayers and
visionaries, who caused hysteria with their doom-laden forecasts of the end of
humanity (Mulligan, 1977, p. 234).

As Murray (2005) suggests, a novice writer should think of making note on ... (p. 16).

References must consist of sources cited in the article only and should be presented
alphabetically and chronologically. For example:

Gardner, H. (1993). Frames of mind: The theory of multiple intelligences. New York: Basic
Books.

acquisition. Computer Assisted Language Learning, 21(1), 5166.
