Referencing Guide

A guide to referencing sources used in assignments

· All sources used in assignments, essays, reports and theses must be acknowledged in the text of your document giving the author’s name followed by the publication date (these are called ‘in-text citations’)

· A ‘bibliography’ or ‘reference list’ at the end of your document contains the full details of all the in-text citations, arranged alphabetically

· Referencing is necessary to avoid plagiarism, to verify quotations, and to enable readers to identify and consult any item to follow-up a cited author’s arguments

Referring a Book

The details required, in order, are:

· name(s) of author(s), editor(s), compiler(s) or the institution responsible

· year of publication

· title of publication and subtitle if any (all titles must be underlined or italicised with

· sentence style capitalisation as below)

· series title and individual volume, if any

· edition, if other than the first

· publisher

· place of publication

· page number(s) if applicable

The basic form of the citations follow the principles listed for print sources:
