Person-to-person communications do not provide recoverable data and so are not included in the reference list. You should therefore: • Cite personal communications in the text only. • Give initials as well as the surname of the communicator and provide as exact a date as possible. It is advisable to include copies or summaries of these in Appendices. For example: According to V. Pickert, the computer technology within cars permits easier tailor-made adaptions for disabled drivers (Personal communication, 18 May 2017, see Appendix 3). Reference List No reference in the reference list is necessary. In text citation only needed. In-text citation Example 1 - where the author's name occurs naturally in the sentence According to V. Pickert (Personal communication, 18 May 2017, see Appendix 3), the computer technology within cars permits easier tailor-made adaptions for disabled drivers.
