4. Reference Lists / Bibliographies
Whether you are using footnotes, endnotes or brief references in the
text you must supply full information about the sources of information you are referring
to. The information supplied about each publication must contain the following elements:
- the name of the author(s)
- the date of publication
- the title of the work
- the publisher
Other information may also be necessary:
For a journal also add the name, issue number and the page
numbers of the journal. For an edited collection also add the
title of the collection and the name of the editor. For electronic
sources add the web address and when you viewed it. These types of sources are all covered
in the examples below.
