Step 1: Decide – will you be using ( ) in the text to indicate your references or footnotes at the end of the page? Select either, not both.

Step 2: Read info and look for the last name of author, year of publication and page in publication where the info appears. Add the info in brackets OR in the footnote.

Example: 1. Steinway, 2009, 6 or (Steinway 2009: 6).

Step 3: Then add the full, detailed reference in ‘List of References’. Do not add sources in the latter if:

1. You have not read them yourself;

2. It is not referred to in the body of your paper.

Marks will be deducted for ‘padding’ your List of References, i.e. listing resources that you have not consulted yourself, or that are not referred to in the text.
