Referencing
The aim of referencing is to provide the source of a particular
quotation or piece of information so that the reader could then
refer directly to the source if they wish to do so. The details
that need to be provided for the main types of source are as
follows:
For printed sources (both primary and
secondary):
- 1. Author, editor or translator
- 2. Title of the book
- 3. Volume number
- 4. Number of the edition
- 5. Place of publication
- 6. Date of publication
- 7. Page number or numbers
For articles in journals:
- 1. As above for printed sources
- 2. Title of the article
- 3. The title of the journal
- 4. The volume number of the journal
- 5. The year (and sometimes the month)
- 6. The page number or numbers
