NOTES
1. Principles of Reference List Entries
A reference generally has four elements: author, date, title, and source. Each element answers a question:

 Author: Who is responsible for this work?


 Date: When was this work published?
 Title: What is the work called?
 Source: Where can I retrieve this work?
Considering these four elements and answering these four questions will help you create a reference for
any type of work.

2. Author
 If an author has a suffix such as Junior or II in the name, list it as Beech, R., Jnr. in your reference list,
but not in the in-text citation (Beech, 2014).
 If the first name is hyphenated retain the hyphen (Lamour, J. –B., for Jean-Baptiste Lamour).
 If authors have the same surname and first initial - in the reference list them as:

Smith, P. [Peter].

Smith, P. [Patty].

The in-text citation would be (Peter Smith, 2009; Patty Smith, 2014). Of course if there is a second initial e.g.
P. R. Smith and P. T. Smith, this is not necessary.

 List the authors in the order in which they appear e.g. Smith, J., Brady, P., & Johns, T. Keep them in the
same order in the in-text citation BUT arrange authors alphabetically within the in-text citation.
(Cummins, 2009; Smith, Brady, & Johns, 2005; Ward & Evans, 2013).
 When numerous layers of government agencies are listed as the author, use the most specific agency
(e.g. use National Institute of Nursing Research rather than U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services, National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Nursing Research.

3. In text Citations
 For a work with three or more authors, include the name of only the first author plus et al. in every in-
text citation.
 If the work has no author, cite the first few words of the reference list entry (usually the title) and the
year. Use quotation marks for the title of an article, chapter or webpage and italicize the title of a
periodical, book, brochure or report e.g. (“Short-term memory,” 2010) or (Journal of Entertainment,
2001)
 Two or more works in the same parentheses: Order them alphabetically, separated by a semi-colon
(Jones, 2002; Smith, 2004; Trang, 2001).
 Authors with the same last name: Use first initials with the last names (E. Martin, 2010; L. Martin,
2011)
 Two or more works by the same author in the same year: Use lower-case letters (a, b, c) after the year
to arrange the reference list entries. Use the lower-case letters with the year in the citation e.g.
Research by Carter (2000a) showed that … or (Carter, 2000a; Carter, 2000b)
 Two works by the same author in different years: Arrange by year of publication e.g. (Myers, 1998,
2003)

37
 Anonymous: If a work is listed as “Anonymous” the citation and reference list will both cite as such e.g.
(Anonymous, 2005)
 Use & NOT and e.g. (Jones & Smith, 2014)
 If quoting word-for-word from a resource, those words must be enclosed in quotation marks if the
quote has fewer than 40 words. Seek help from a Reference Librarian or Tutor, to ensure you are
quoting correctly.

4. Date
 Use date of copyright shown on the work’s copyright page as the date of publication.
 Dates for magazines, newspaper and newsletters must be entered as (Year, Month day) where known,
with the month spelled out in full e.g. (2012, March 16) or (2008, May). The in-text citation will only
include the year (Black, 2012).
 If there is no date of publication use the abbreviation (n.d.). Use this in your citation as well e.g. (Zahid,
n.d.)
 Works by the same author are arranged date, starting with the earliest date ie 1993, 2001, 2009 etc.
 Works published by the same author in the same year are arranged alphabetically by title and are
distinguished from each other by using a, b, etc in the dates: Smith, D. (2006a)… Smith, D. (2006b)…
or (Smith, 2006a; Smith, 2006b)
 Revised edition should be abbreviated to Rev. ed. and Abridged edition to Abr. ed.
Second edition, revised and enlarged would just be 2nd ed.
 If the book is a reprint of an older book, use the date and details of the item you are using and
reference it as:
Kimmel, A. J. (2007). Ethical issues in behavioural research: Basic and applied perspectives. Malden, MA.
Blackwell. (Original work published 1966) *Note: there is no period after the parenthesis.

5. Undated web content, blogs, and data


The goal of a citation is to give the reader a clear path to the material you have used. For electronic and
online materials, include stable URL, DOI, or database name. Include the author, title and date
published when available. For undated material, include the date the resource was accessed.

6. Retrieval dates when citing a webpage


Include a retrieval date when citing an unarchived work that is likely or meant to change, such as a
dictionary entry, Twitter profile, Google Map, work on a website that updates frequently, etc. When
there is an archived and easily retrievable permalink, a retrieval date is not required.

7. Title
 Captialise only the first letter and the first letter after a colon, or any proper nouns e.g. Western stories
of American pioneers: A history BUT if quoting the title in your assignment you will capitalise every word
e.g. When Western Stories of American Pioneers: A History was first published it was …
 If a title has more than one section use a colon, then a semi-colon.
e.g. Deception: Stories from the inside; A case study
 Do not begin a title with a number.
e.g. The 3 horses from the 21st century is correct
3 black horses in the 21st century is not correct. Change to:
Three black horses in the 21st century.
 Include both titles and subtitles, no matter how long they are. e.g. The white rose: An anthology of
garden poetry NOT just The white rose.
 Journal titles must be in full and italicised e.g. Journal of Theology NOT Jn Theol.

38
8. Edition
Editions should be stated as 2nd, 3rd etc. Word will automatically raise the abbreviation e.g. 2 nd . Highlight

nd and hit the button to quickly change from 2nd to 2nd.

Revised edition should be rev.ed.

Never put in the first ( 1st ), edition. That is understood.

Second edition, revised and updated would just be 2nd ed.

If a book has multiple editions, use the edition that you have read

9. Publisher
 In general, do not add the words Publishing, Company, Org, Inc. etc after a publisher’s name. The only
words you should add are either Press or Books.
For instance you would have Yale University Press but not Praeger Publishers – this would just be
Praeger.
 Associations must be written in full in the reference list e.g. Board of Studies NOT BOS or B.O.S.

10. Reference list


 Begin the reference list on a new page with the heading References centred
 All references should be double spaced and indented on the 2nd and subsequent lines of an entry (as a
hanging indent)
 Arrange entries in alphabetical order e.g. M, Mac, MacD, McD

11. Page numbers


 When quoting directly you must include page numbers in your in-text citation
e.g. (Smith, 2014, p. 45).
 If you have paraphrased you are encouraged to supply a page number when it will help locate the
relevant passage within a long or complex work.
 If there are no page numbers (web pages often have no pages) the section may be indicated using
paragraph locations or headings e.g. (Allbright, 2013, para. 3) or (Green, n.d. “Living With Diabetes”).
If the heading is very long you may shorten it e.g. (Martin, 2012, “Going Home,” para. 5). The full heading
was “Going Home to the Farm Where I Grew Up”
 List page numbers in full e.g. 245-249, not 245-9.

12. DOIs and URLs


 Include a DOI for all works that have one. Use the DOI in preference to a URL.
 Present both DOIs and URLs as hyperlinks. It is not necessary to include the words Retrieved from
before a DOI or URL in most cases.
 If the URL does not fit onto a line, ‘break’ it to make it fit better. Do this before punctuation, such as the
‘/’.

13. Using brackets vs parentheses


In general, use brackets to indicate type of material e.g. [DVD] or [Computer software] or if you are
making an explanation within a quote e.g. “when he [John] exploded with fury” (Smith, 2010, p. 25).
