Write or copy/paste the text into the file and go to the Change styles to see all the different styles that you are supposed to use in the article.

The styles that you use for the article all begin with the name rann-…… In order to see where each style is used, please follow the Sample of an article that you can find in the back of this guide.

3

Click on the arrow below the Change styles icon.

4

Here appears the list with all the different styles. Just write or copy/paste the text. And remember to use only the styles that begin with the name Rann-…..

Highlight the headline and choose the style rann-fyrirsögn.

Articles should be „saved as“/marked with the author’s full name and the abbreviated name of the proceedings where the article will be published (example on page 3).

ReferencesReferences should be presented in the APA style. For a detailed description of the system, refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th ed.). Examples based on the APA system follow below.

General information regarding the APA system

References in text:o Two authors: Cite both names in all citations

(McCreary & Smith, 2010)

Three, four or five authors: Cite all authors in the first citation. Thereafter, only refer to the surname of the first author followed with et al.

McCreary, Thompson, & Smith, 2010 McCreary et al., 2010

Please note that the symbol & should stand between author names instead of “and”, both in citations in text and the reference list

When referring to works published in Iceland, use the authors’ full name (as the work is registered in Iceland) both in the reference list and in citations. E.g.:

o Arnar Gunnarsson. (2010). The effects of sun on snow. Journal of weather, 5(2), 3-5.

When citing an entire web page it is enough to give the address of the site in text (it is not necessary to refer to it in the reference list)

Please leave hyperlinks for all links taken from the web

When referring to more than one work within the same parentheses, order the citations alphabetically and divide them with a semicolon

o (Andrews, 1998; Bob, 2000; Reynolds, 2010).

When referring to more than one work from the same author of the same year, they should be identified with lowercase letters after the year. E.g.:

o (Rogers, 1998a, 1998b, 1998c).

When the author is the same as the publisher, write the name Author where the publisher should be indicated. E.g:

7

o Ministry of education. (1993). Education in Iceland. Reykjavík: Author.

Abbreviations such as ibid or op.cit are not used in the APA system

When using two publications by two or more authors with the same surname, include the author‘s initials in text citations. E.g:

o B. A. Jones et al. (1993) and T. I. Jones (2000)…
