Article
Pay attention to these rules:
- if a journal has no issue, it should be omitted.
- if an article is printed on one page, [p.] should be used instead of [pp.].
- if there is a colon in the title of an article, do not capitalize the first word that goes right after it.
- doi is not mentioned in the reference list as a rule. However, if it is required according to your instructions, it should be added after the number of pages (for example, [pp. 17-18. https://doi.org/10.1001/pfi.20005.]).
- use capitalization only for the name of a journal.

Simanjuntak, M.B. and Lumingkewas, M.S. (2022) ‘Applied missiology of education for Sunday school children’, International Journal of Education and Literature, 1(2), pp. 16-18.

Note:
- make sure that you add a full publication date (year, day, and month) with no shortenings. Do not forget that it should be separated with the title of an article and the name of a newspaper.
