Referencing Styles

Each referencing style will require you to provide similar information such as the author, the year the item was published, the page number if there is a quotation, the title of the book or journal etc. However there will be a different format for how you present the information in text and in a bibliography, depending on which citation format you are required use. Please consult your student handbook for specific information about the referencing system required by your course.
