(Edwards, 2018)

(Krugman & Wells, 2024)

(París et al., 2011)
13.4 When a citation is used with emphasis on a corporate author (institution, organization, association, etc.), the first mention in the text will appear with the full name preceded by the corresponding acronym:
(International Labour Organization [ILO], 2014, p. 10)

(ILO, 2014, p.10)
13.5 If there are two or more works by the same author in the bibliographic citations published the same year, each one will be differentiated using the letters a, b, c, etc.:
(Edwards, 2018a)
13.6 In the case of quotations, the author must consider the following classification:
A) Block quotation: They are considered so due to their length of 40 words or more, they are written in a separate paragraph, without quotation marks, without italics, with the same font size, with single line spacing and indentation of half an inch (1.27 cm) on the left. At the end of the quotation, the period is placed before the reference. For example:
A good system for evaluating public sector projects and programs requires expertise that goes down to the level where each individual project is evaluated. This requires hundreds, even thousands of well-prepared people. It also requires a framework of evaluation that is based on sound economic principles, and a top leadership that is willing to stand up, at least some of the time, against the political pressures that build up, even behind bad projects (based on the interests of that benefit from the project while others bear much, or most of its cost).
(Harberger, 1998, pp. 3-4).
B) Short quotation: They are considered so due to their length of less than 40 words, they are written immersed in the text, in quotation marks, without italics, and end with a period or other punctuation outside the final parenthesis; For example:
In his interviews with workers in Guadalajara, Roberts (1989) finds that, “Many informants cited the deduction made for welfare as a disadvantage of formal employment, particularly since the services they received were poor” (Roberts 1989, p. 50).
