Sample References

The International Journal of Architectural Engineering Technology (IJAET) uses a numbered reference style based on the Vancouver system. References should be cited in the text using sequential Arabic numerals in square brackets, for example, [1], [2], or [3-5].

References should be listed at the end of the manuscript under the heading References and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first cited in the text.

The examples below illustrate the reference format used by IJAET.
