でも、社会学や経済学などなら、HARVARD式と同じく「イ
ン・テキスト・サイテーション」がよく使われる。

Part 3: Citations and Bibliography
According to the Asahi Shimbun (2012a), Japan’s most
recent whaling season came to an early and rather
unsuccessful end. Part of the reason for this might be growing
criticism of Japan worldwide, as evidence by Australia’s
decision to take Japan to the International Court of Justice
(
). In Australia in particular, anti-whaling –
and anti-Japanese – sentiment appears to be rising following
arrest of Sea Shepherd activities in January (
).
“Japan’s present whaling policy is one that incorporates its
contentious scientific research program,” writes Kagawa-Fox
(
: 412), “and is one of the most criticized of government
initiatives.” These points are explained in detail by Mulgan
( ) and Hirata ( ).
