Reference Lists
At the end of your assignment, you are required to provide full reference information for each source you have used. Reference lists give full information about the printed and electronic sources referred to in your writing so that your reader is able to locate the sources you used.
The items in your reference list need to be:
- In alphabetical order, by the author/producer’s surname, in the order they appear on the title page
- Combined in one list - do not separate different types of sources
- In correct format (brackets, punctuation, capital letters, italics, etc.) as in the examples in this guide. This includes underlining all URLs so they are active hyperlinks.
- In ‘hanging indent’ format
- Checked with your department for their preferred line spacing
Remember, be consistent!
