Reference list

Complete overview of all sources cited

Choose one style for your references

Use the same style troughout the list

Normally listed right after conclusion

Cite it right – organising your references Example: Book with one author 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. -> Always find the correct format for your source

Example: Book with one author

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.

-> Always find the correct format for your source

So, reference list.. bibliography..whatever – that’s it?!

Part 2: Citing sources We need a reference in the text that makes the link to the endnote/footnote E.g. Blablablablabla (Fitzgerald, 1926). Blablabla Fitzgerald, F. S. (1926). The Great Gatsby : Chatto & Windus: London.

We need a reference in the text that makes the link to the endnote/footnote

E.g.

Blablablablabla (Fitzgerald, 1926). Blablabla

NEVER too many sources

Part 3: Quoting sources Direct quote Indirect quotation Summary Students do not always see the importance of citing all sources in written work. ”Serious academic literature authors use sources, and they cite the sources they use&quot; (Spangen, 2007, p. 9). This is just as important when writing a semester assignment as when writing a scientific dissertation.
