If several works by the same author were published in the same year, they should be differentiated by letters (a, b, c, etc.) following the year of publication.

Textual citations, if inside a paragraph, have to be highlighted by means of “quotation marks”. If in a separate paragraph, plus the “quotation marks”, the left side should be indented 0.75 cm.
