The JLT adopts the APA 7 referencing style

Dear authors, as you may be aware, the numerous variations of the Harvard Reference style lack a definitive source, leading to inconsistencies. By adopting APA, we aim to streamline the citation process and reduce the burden on authors and reviewers to constantly verify journal-specific styles. From June 18, 2024, we ask authors to use this style for manuscript submissions.   You can find detailed examples on the official APA website: APA Style Examples. Another excellent APA 7 resource is available at: APA Formatting and Style Guide (7th Edition) - Purdue OWL® - Purdue University.   If you’re short on time, our recommended expert copy-editors can help prepare your manuscript. Please contact the journal manager for assistance. 

For previously submitted manuscripts, rest assured, we will update your references accordingly.
