Does the documentation provide sufficient and correct information according to the guidelines above?
Original
The example in this exercise is based on the following article:
Füssel, H.-M. (2009). An updated assessment of the risks from climate change based on research published since the "IPCC Fourth Assessment Report". Climatic Change, 97, 469-482.
(This reference to the journal article is performed according to the APA citation style)
Füssel, H.-M. (2009). An updated assessment of the risks from climate change based on research published since the "IPCC Fourth Assessment Report". Climatic Change, 97, 469-482.
(This reference to the journal article is performed according to the APA citation style)
1. Use
In his review of the climate change literature published since the 2007 UN report, "IPCC Fourth Assessment Report", Füssel (2009) concludes that the number of research publications on climate change has grown. And that this research shows that an increase in CO2 calls for immediate action.
Bibliography

The reference in the bibliography lacks information about the author and the publication year. In this way it is not possible to link the in-text citation (the name of the author and the publication year) within the text to the corresponding reference in the bibliography. A correct reference to a journal article should contain: 1) the author of the article, 2) the publication year, 3) the title of the article, 4) the title of the journal in which the article is printed, 4) the volume number of the journal and, finally, 5) the page numbers of the article in the journal.

The reference in the bibliography lacks information about the publication year, the volume number of the journal and the page number of the article in the journal. A correct reference to a journal article should contain: 1) the author of the article, 2) the publication year, 3) the title of the article, 4) the title of the journal in which the article is printed, 4) the volume number of the journal and, finally, 5) the page numbers of the article in the journal. Furthermore the in-text citation lacks the publication year. This means that the in-text citation and the reference in the bibliography don't match precisely.
