References

Also the citation/reference must be set up as in roman script as highlighted in bold below:

In human romantic couples, and especially in those in which the relationship has lasted more than a few weeks or months, there is usually an asymmetry in decisional power such that one partner is dominant and the other is subordinate [1]. In heterosexual couples, and especially in older couples or couples in which the man is much older than the woman, men are more likely to be dominant and women are more likely to be subordinate [2]. When decisional power is roughly shared within a couple and there is no clear-cut dominance, the relationship is considered to be egalitarian [3].

and the References section must be like this:

PubMed Submission

If you are planning to submit your article in PubMed, the Reference format is slightly different. The Year must be not after the Authors list but after the Journal Title.

For example change this:

Wenneker, C.P., Wigbolus, D.H., & Spears, R. (2005). Biased language use in stereotype maintenane: The role of encoding and goals. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 89(4), 504-516. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-3514.89.4.504

into this:

Wenneker, C.P., Wigbolus, D.H., & Spears, R. Biased language use in stereotype maintenane: The role of encoding and goals. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 2005; 89(4), 504-516. https://doi.org/10.1037/0022-3514.89.4.504
