How to cite and format references
For this course you will be using the name-author system of the Council of Science Editors. The examples below show how to do in-text citations and how to format the end reference, i.e. a full bibliographic reference for the list of references at the end of your written work.
In-text citations
- If a reference has a single author, the in-text citation is the author’s surname and the year of publication, usually in brackets, e.g. (Brown 2018). The in-text citation can be incorporated into the text in a number of ways depending on the writing style.
Brown (2018) reported an inverse relationship between obesity and vitamin A intake.
Retinoic acid regulates the expression of gene involved in lipid metabolism (Brown 2018).
While one study reported a link between vitamin A and obesity (Brown 2018), other studies found no relationship (Smith 2017, Barton 2016).
- Note: If it is clear from the writing that only a single reference is being discussed within a paragraph, than it is sufficient to cite the source once. A citation is not required at the end of every sentence. For example:
Brown (2018) investigated that relationship between vitamin A and obesity and found that persons with a higher body weight had a lower intake of Vitamin A. The author suggested that this may be due to the role that retinoic acid, a derivative of vitamin A, plays in the expression of genes related to adipocyte metabolism. An inadequate Vitamin A intake would interfere with normal lipid metabolism, promoting an increase in body weight.
- If two studies have the same author and year of publication than cite as (Brown 2018a) and (Brown 2018b). Be sure that the “a” and “b” are incorporated into the list of references.
- If two studies have different authors with the same surname, use initials to distinguish: (Brown M 2018), (Brown D 2018)
- If a study has two authors, cite as (Brown and Smith 2017).
- If a study has three authors, cite as (Brown et al 2018).
- If a multi-authored study has the same first author, include the second author to distinguish (Brown, Smith et al 2018) vs (Brown, Gordon et al 2018)
References
- At the end of your assignment you should list all work cited.
- The full bibliographic references should be listed in alphabetical order, based on the first author.
- The full bibliographic reference for journal articles has the following format:
Cooperstone JL, Goetz HJ, Riedl KM, Harrison EH, Schwartz SJ, Kopec RE. 2017. Relative contribution of α-carotene to postprandial vitamin A concentrations in healthy humans after carrot consumption. Am J Clin Nutr. 106(1):59-66. doi: 10.3945/ajcn.116.150821.
- List the authors in the order in which they appear on the title page of an article. Never change this order.
How to cite and format references –Jan 2018
- List the first 10 names of a paper; if there are more than 10 names add “et al.”
- The first word of the journal title is capitalized; except for proper nouns, the remainder of the article title is written in lowercase. Retain all punctuation from the original title.
- Use the abbreviations for journal titles as found in the journal or abstract. If a journal abbreviation is not given find it by searching the PubMed list of journals: https://www-ncbi-nlm-nih-gov.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/nlmcatalog/journals
- Include a volume number e.g 106; an issue number (1) if available; and the inclusive pages of the article: 59-66. For journals that are published only online a single paper number often replaces the volume and page numbers, e.g. e12.
- Many journals provide a link to the digital version of the article called a digital object identifier or DOI. If it is available it should be included in the reference. The DOI for the citation above is: 10.3945/ajcn.116.150821
- FYI: To use a DOI go to http://www.doi.org/ and follow the instructions on how to resolve a DOI name.

Impact of Nuts Intake on Cardiovascular Diseases.
Cardiovascular diseases refer to various conditions that arise due to the blockage of blood vessels after the development of atherosclerosis (Appendix 1). Common cardiovascular diseases (CVD) include Ischemic Heart disease, Coronary Heart disease, Coronary artery disease, and Myocardial Infarction. An underlying preconception about CVD is that nuts' consumption can lower the risk factors of these diseases or reduce the propensity of dying from CVD.
Consumption of nuts can lower the risk of all CVDs by about 14% and about 15% for Coronary heart disease. The impact is mainly due to the high fatty acid composition of nuts. Notably, nuts have a high content of folate, magnesium, and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) (Um & He, 2011). Thus, the consumption of nuts, which translates to a high intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids and MUFA, reduces Triacylglycerol (TAG), which is a leading risk factor for CVD.
Nouran et al.'s (2010) randomized crossover clinical trial compares the impact of consuming peanuts with another diet on a person's susceptibility to CVDs. From the results obtained, the consumption of peanuts resulted in improved chances of not getting CVDs. Ideally, the statistical difference in reducing risk factors for CVD between consuming peanuts and other diets was depicted in measures for body weight, blood pressure, and two elements of blood cholesterol. Notably, the P-value was over 0.1, indicating a significant impact of peanut on reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Guasch-Ferré et al. (2017) study the relationship between the intake of different nut and the various CVDs. In this regard, the relative risk of contracting cardiovascular illness when not taking any nuts is one that represents a high risk. However, taking any form of nuts at least once a week reduces the relative risk by about 0.1 percent. On the other hand, maintaining a trend of taking nuts reduces the relative risk for CVDs to 0.0002. Almost similar findings are realized when the types of nuts are varied, indicating that both peanuts, tree nuts, peanut butter, and walnuts significantly reduce the risk of contracting any cardiovascular illnesses when taken regularly.
Luu et al. (2015) evaluate the cause-specific mortality involving cardiovascular illness and how nuts' intake impacts them. In this regard, utilizing food validated frequency, Luu et al. (2015) found that the lowest intake of nuts results in the highest mortality rates from CVD. However, the high frequency of consuming nuts leads to a significant reduction of mortality incidences related to CVDs.
From the evaluation in the four articles, it is apparent that peanuts reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality risk from CVD. Notably, the articles utilize scientific approaches to carry out their studies, thereby making them convincing. Moreover, primary research is carried out in all studies, which enhances their evidence level. Consequently, the articles are either level one or level two, which indicates high validity and reliability. As such, the scientific evidence presented in Appendix 1 articles is highly convincing that nuts decreased the risk of cardiovascular diseases or the risk of death.

Answer
Assessing Risk and Reward
The Nissan Motor Company is one of the leading automobile makers in the world. The Japanese carmaker has primarily enjoyed a successful run, allowing it to enter various regional and international markets such as the United States. However, the changing business environment was not favorable to the company in 2019. Notably, the cooperation recorded losses amounting to 7.8%. The experience pushed the management into making tough decisions, requiring almost all of its North American workforce to go for unpaid leaves.
In late 2019, the company announced that the decline in sales necessitated a two-day unpaid leave for the North American workers. The stated days for the vacation were January 2 and 3rd (Chicago Tribune, 2019). Notably, this move was a crucial decision for the company because of its conflicting impacts. Whereas on the positive side, it could help the firm minimize expenses, it threatened to affect the public perception of the company regarding employee welfare.
The rewards for the decision involved cutting expenses by not paying the workers on leave, which eventually would translate into reduced expenses. Another reward was that the decision could allow the company to optimize performance by evaluating employee performances then developing new milestones. However, on the low side, the company risked affecting its public image and brand name, especially in the North American market. As per Chakravorti (2010), the way an organization treats its employees influences the firm's public perception. Thus, Nissan risked eliciting a negative public perception. With a distorted public image, the company could fail to revive its declining sales.
I would have advised the management of Nissan to utilize the Predictive Analytic perspective in determining the right decision to take. Ideally, the approach tries to predict what might happen in the future if particular decisions or actions are undertaken at the moment (Traymbak & Aggarwal, 2019). Looking at the situation at Nissan, the company needed to develop a goal such as increasing sales. After that, they would have made decisions aimed at realizing the set goal. In this regard, the predicted outcome could give the management an overview of whether more risks existed or significant rewards could be realized.
