Bibliography: Literature and reference lists
The bibliography should be placed at the end of the assignment. It whould contain all of the sources you have used in your work and that you have cited in your text.
The bibliography should provide all of the information the reader needs to identify the sources you have used and be able to find them.
There are several standard formats for writing bibliographies, depending upon the subject you are studying. You must check this with your advisor or instructor. Once you have chosen one standard, it is important that you follow this consistently. Below, you will find the three most common types of documents: a book with one author or more, an article from a periodical, and a website.
A book with one author can, for example, be listed like this (APA 6th):
Last name, First initial. (Year). Title of the book in italics (Edition – if available). Place of publication: Publisher. |
|
| Fitzgerald, F. S. (1926). The Great Gatsby. Chatto & Windus: London. |
When you write up the information about the source, you always follow the same pattern of punctuation (parantheses, commas, italics, etc.) as found in the template.
Periodical article
Website with author
| The bibliography is sorted alphabetically by the first author's name or corporation name in the entry. If the sources have the same authors, sort next by year of publication, oldest first. |
