3. Capitalisation styles in reference entries

1. Minimal

(Sentence style) is used for the titles of ALL reference list information sources EXCEPT for the

titles of journal articles. Capitalise ONLY the first word, the first word after a question mark (?), a colon

(:) or em dash (—), and proper nouns that normally require capitalisation (e.g. names of people, cultural

groups, places etc.).

Wong, D. S. (2007).

New horizons in critical thinking: Engaging the modern Australian

student.

London, UK: Hodges & Stones.

2. Maximal

(Headline style) is used ONLY for italicised titles of journals. The first letter of every MAJOR

word in the journal title should be capitalised—conjunctions, articles and short prepositions are not

considered major words. The first word after a colon is always capitalised.

The reference list goes on a new page at the end of your assignment.

Head your page with References (upper and lower case letters) and centre. (DO NOT

use all capitals, underline or use italics).
