 Hi all!

I could really do with some advice on referencing. This is for my ema. I am wanting to reference in text but unsure if I have to write the author's name every time I cite? Most of the first references are from the same author and I have already used (Silva, 2009, p.311) so in the next reference can I just put (2009, p.311) or (2009, p.320) etc. Do I have to write the name every time and use up valuable word count? I cannot remember!! grrr!

I am rather confused! a swift reply would be great as I am currently writing thie ema!

Thanks in advance
