According to Petrović (2001),„The application of data warehouses can be of a limited nature, especially if they contain confidential data.“ (p. 201).

Petrović (2001) thinks that „the application of a data warehouse can be of a limited nature“ (p. 201).

He thinks that „the application of a data warehouse can be of a limited nature“, but it does not explain the possible consequences (Petrović, 2001, p. 201).

One author

Boškov (2005) compares access volume…

In another research on the extent of access (Boškov, 2005), it was established...

Two authors

Another study (Jovičić and Stavrić, 2011) concluded that there is a direct relationship between the range of management, on the one hand, and the number of organizational levels and the form of the organizational structure, on the other hand.

Three to five authors

The first in-text citation for the paper of more than three authors includes all of the names of the authors (e.g. Jovanov, Boškov, Perić, Tanasijević i Stakić, 2004).

Subsequent citations include only the first author’s surname, followed by et al. and the year.

According to Jovanov et al (2004), when such a phenomenon occurs again, the media usually pay far more attention to it.

When such a phenomenon occurs again, the media usually pay far more attention (Jovanov et al, 2004).

Six or more authors

Yossarian et al. (2004) conclude that...

... not relevant (Yossarian et al, 2001).

Unanymous author

If the work is anonymous or the author is not listed, the in-text citation includes the title in the introductory phrase or the first two words, which should be put in brackets.

The book titles are italicized whereas the titles of papers and chapters are written in quotation marks.

A similar survey was conducted in a number of organizations that have full-time database managers („Limiting database access“, 2005).

If, for instance, the in-text citation includes the words of a journal editor where the author of the article is not mentioned, only a couple of the initial words from the title are written, followed by the publishing year („The Objectives of Access Delegation,“ 2007)

Organization or state entity as an author

If the in-text citation includes the data of an organization/institution, the author should refer to the organization/institution in an introductory phrase as in the following example:

According to the data of the Institute of Statistics Republic of Srpska (2017),…

The review is limited to cities with a population of 10,000 or more (Institute of Statistics Republic of Srpska [SORS], 1978).

When more than one publication of the same author is listed:

(Bezjak, 1999, 2002)

(Griffith, 2002a, 2002б)

Two or more publications published in the same year

If two or more papers or books by the same author are published in the same year, you can refer to them using lowercase letters (a, b…) after the year.

The results of a survey published in Theissen (2004a) show that...
