"It has been shown (Cropley, 1987) ..."
"According to Adams et al. (1988), it is ..."
Complete references in the reference section
• All citations of references within the text must follow the format specified in The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering
• The reference section is where the complete list of reference material appears arranged alphabetically by the surname of the lead author for the publication.
