It is very necessary to cite relevant sources in effective way so that it is easy for
user to understand it (Smith and Wong, 2016). This is because there are different types
of referencing styles available and each of them is having unique style of doing citation.
Referencing a site correctly enables in giving proof about secondary source from where
data is been selected. Moreover, selection of sources depends on what type of work is
been done. There is also a difference in citing source at minor and major points.

When three or more authors

There are various referencing standards that consist of information such as
author name, year, country, etc. (Williams and Davis, 2017) In APA the citations vary
and brackets are used properly. It is similar to Harvard one but there is minor difference
in it. For example –
