The guidelines emphasize correct reference citation practices, distinguishing paraphrase from direct quotation and requiring author-year-page (or paragraph) information for quotes. They restrict secondary sources, prohibit first-person voice unless instructed, reject APA footnotes in tables/graphs, and require single-sided submission.
