Often writers include more than one reference for a piece of

A large body of evidence suggests that stunting impairs cognitive

and adolescence (Black et al. 2017), and the negative impacts
continue into adulthood (Hoddinott et al. 2013b; Victora et al.
2008).

Writers often include more than one reference for a piece of information, especially when the topic has been extensively researched. This practice not only showcases a thorough understanding of the subject but also adds credibility to the text. In academic writing, incorporating multiple references is a common strategy to demonstrate a comprehensive review of existing literature and support the arguments presented.
