Analysis Of Reference List Example printable pdf download

An alphabetical list of references is placed at the end of your assignment. This list gives the full

publication details of each source you cited in your assignment so that your reader can consult the

same sources that you have used. Use this information as a guide:

5. Example reference list

1. Reference list or bibliography?

A REFERENCE LIST is a list of all the sources that you have used as in-text references in your

assignment. A BIBLIOGRAPHY is a wider list of readings that includes both in-text references and

other sources which may have informed your thinking on the topic, but may not have been placed

as an in-text reference in your assignment. Make sure you know whether a reference list or

bibliography is required for the unit you are studying.

2. Analysis of reference list examples

When you write your reference list, you need to analyse the patterns of each reference type. Some

basic details that you need to look for are authors/no authors, dates/no dates, titles, editions and

publishers, pages, DOIs or /URLs, depending on the type of reference you need.
