Q. Which referencing style should I use?

Each department has a preferred referencing style. Check with your department if you are unsure of which style to use.

There are many different referencing styles in common use. The purpose of referencing is to acknowledge the work of others in your work and avoid plagiarism.

The University has published some useful information on referencing and bibliographies here.

You can use bibliographic software which is designed to store citations, insert citations into documents and create bibliographies. The University supports two software packages, EndNote and RefWorks.
