The beauty is in revealing depth of resources. Many referencing formats can be used to make specify details about translators, new editions, reprints, first published date, etc., which all reveal information about the bases of the knowledge.

  The format here is essentially follows that from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 1983, -- & recent which is used by a high number of humanities peer-reviewed joutnals.

  There is no such thing as a standardised bibliographic/referencing format.
Even when following a particular format, each journal will often use its own variation as far as exact placement of comas, semicolons, colons, etc.

What is important is to be CONSISTANT around a general style.
What is most important in writing is clarity of ideas, not the location of semicolon.

The most important features are:
1. Consistency of format
2. Ease of use
3. Providing full information

(Longstaff, 1996; Laban, 1926; Preston-Dunlop, 1998)


-- QUOTE IN A SENTENCE:

When the quote is in a single sentence “then the quote goes right in

the text, with ‘quotes from the original source within single marks’

and the author-date citation placed within the final dot” (Author, 1995, p. 14).


-- BLOCK QUOTE:

When a block quote is used it looks slightly different:

     In this case several sentences might be in the quote. Or it could
     be only one. There are no quotation marks since the quote stands
     out by indentation and single-spacing. “A quote from the original
     text, receives normal double quotation marks” just as it appeared
     in the original text. In this case the citation falls at the end, but
     outside of the final dot. (Author, 1997, pp. 120-121)
