• Quotations – as a general rule in the University, if the quote is less than a line it

may be included in the body of the text in quotation marks. Longer quotations

are indented and single-spaced, quotation marks are not required. For citations

of particular parts of the document the page numbers etc. should be given after

the year in parentheses.

• Summaries or paraphrases – give the citation where it occurs naturally or at the

end of the relevant piece of writing.

• Diagrams, illustrations – should be referenced as though they were a quotation

if they have been taken from a published work. For anything else refer to BS

1629:1989.

• If details of particular parts of a document are required, e.g. page numbers, they

should be given after the year within the parentheses.

• Rules for citation in text for printed documents also apply to electronic

documents except where pagination is absent. If an electronic document does

not include pagination or an equivalent internal referencing system, the extent

of the item may be indicated in terms such as the total number of lines, screens,

etc., e.g. "[35 lines]" or "[approx. 12 screens]".

Examples

i) If the author’s name occurs naturally in the sentence the year is given in

parentheses:-

e.g. In a popular study Harvey (1992) argued that we have to teach good practices…

e.g. As Harvey (1992, p.21) said, “good practices must be taught” and so we…

ii) If the name does not occur naturally in the sentence, both name and year are

given in parentheses:-

e.g. A more recent study (Stevens 1998) has shown the way theory and practical

work interact.

e.g. Theory rises out of practice, and once validated, returns to direct or explain the

practice (Stevens 1998).

iii) When an author has published more than one cited document in the same

year, these are distinguished by adding lower case letters (a,b,c, etc.) after the

year and within the parentheses:-

e.g. Johnson (1994a) discussed the subject…

iv) If there are two authors the surnames of both should be given:-

e.g. Matthews and Jones (1997) have proposed that…

v) If there are more than two authors the surname of the first author only should

be given, followed by et al.:-

e.g. Office costs amount to 20% of total costs in most business (Wilson et al. 1997)

(A full listing of names should appear in the bibliography.)

vi) If the work is anonymous then “Anon” should be used:-

e.g. In a recent article (Anon 1998) it was stated that…

vii) If it is a reference to a newspaper article with no author the name of the paper

can be used in place of “Anon”:-

e.g. More people than ever seem to be using retail home delivery (The Times 1996)

(You should use the same style in the bibliography.)

viii) If you refer to a source quoted in another source you cite both in the text:-

e.g. A study by Smith (1960 cited Jones 1994) showed that…

(You should list only the work you have read, i.e. Jones, in the bibliography.)

ix) If you refer to a contributor in a source* you cite just the contributor:-

e.g. Software development has been given as the cornerstone in this industry (Bantz

1995).

See Section 2 below for an explanation of how to list contributions (chapters in

books, articles in journals, papers in conference proceeding) in the

bibliography.

x) If you refer to a person who has not produced a work, or contributed to one, but

who is quoted in someone else’s work it is suggested that you should mention

the person’s name and you must cite the source author:-

e.g. Richard Hammond stressed the part psychology plays in advertising in an

interview with Marshall (1999).

e.g. “Advertising will always play on peoples’ desires”, Richard Hammond said in a
