Article’s title [X Running head odd]
‘Professional designers such as architects, fashion designers and engineers’,
at the same time as he points out ‘… yet design is also an everyday activity
that we all do… All these everyday domestic jobs can be seen as design tasks
or at least design-like tasks’ (Lawson, 2004, p. 5). Do not use quotation
marks for long quotations:
More of the goods and services produced for consumer across a range
of sectors can be conceived of as ‘cultural’ goods, in that way they are
deliberately inscribed with to generate desire for then amongst the
end uses sold to consumers in terms of particular clusters of meaning
indicates the increased importance of ‘culture’ to production
circulation of a multitude of goods and services. (du Gay, Hall, Janes,
Mackay, & Negus, 1997, p. 24)

Citation & Bibliography make sure that you submit document without the
fields linked to your bibliographical database.
For indirect quotation/paraphrasing – please do not use quotation
marks. Page numbers are optional when paraphrasing, although it is useful
to include them. For example, Allen (cited in Ulrich & Eppinger, 2004, p. 64)
claims that as physical distance of project team members increases, the
frequency of communication amongst team members decreases.
In the text reference format for a book with two to five authors, for the

(1997) and then list only the first author followed by et all. as such as: du
Gay, et al. (1997).

Language Roles and Structures in Cross-Disciplinary Design teams’ by
Adams, Mann, Jordan and Daly (2009) was part of edited book titled ‘About:
Designing: Analysing Design Meeting’.
This is provides an example format for a book or report by a corporate
author Rust, Mottram and Till (2009) produced a report titled ‘Practice-Led
Research in Art, Design and Architecture’.
Conference paper by Terry (2012) titled ‘Managing by design – enacted
through situated networks’ was presented at the Leading Innovation
through Design: DMI 2012 International Research Conference in Boston,
USA.
