Hi, your chapter is well thought-out and well written. Congratulations! The layout is pleasant to look at too.

I noticed that in your in text citations, you used a lot (author, year, page). Were you quoting directly? If they are all direct quotes, maybe you need to indicate them by using " " too. A better way will be to reduce direct quotes by paraphrasing them. They felt like your own words when I read them maybe because you are a good writer. --Xlc (discuss • contribs) 00:47, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

APA style captions for images and tables
I recommend using APA style captions i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2 etc. for all images, graphs etc. and Table 1, Table 2 etc. for all tables. The caption text should not be in italics. For more detail and examples, see http://libguides.newcastle.edu.au/content.php?pid=113807&sid=1208571 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:32, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

thank you
this comment is not exactly about your chapter although I did read it and I think it is awesome and really interesting as it is topic I had not given much thought to in the past :), anyway I really wanted to say thank you for all of the contributions that you have made, whenever I have been stuck on what to do to with something I continually refer to your book chapter and Moodle posts for help and guidance so thank you :) K.kauhanen (discuss • contribs) 10:52, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

APA style in-text citations
Hello, Just like the first comment I have noticed that you use page numbers in your in-text citations. If you are not quoting directly you do not need the page number. So you should only have author and year. I would suggest removing these or adding quotations marks (if you are quoting from the source) straight away or it may be detrimental to getting marks for APA styling. Also one reference at the bottom (Rutherford), I noticed you forgot to put the journal article in italics, and should double checks all commas ect. as well. For all I can see the other references are correct though and well done on your book chapter!
