Bibliographies and referencing
When writing assignments and essays, you will usually need to include references.
This means at the end of your written essay/report, you list all the books and journals articles you have referred to - in a bibliography or reference list. This should allow your lecturer to find them if needed. There are specific referencing styles with rules to follow on how exactly to format and present your references.
Referencing - School Guidance
Find and use the guidance for your School. Information on referencing standards to be used will also be available from the assessment brief and Moodle.
Referencing using APA 7th
Our LibGuide provides step by step instructions and videos for using the APA 7th referencing style, including how to reference artificial intelligence tools.
Managing references
The Reference Management LibGuide will help you with organising larger numbers of references using the software Endnote or Mendeley - or MyBib for speed.

If you are not sure which referencing guidelines to use please ask your module leader.
Note: if you are taking a module from another School, then you need to use that School’s guidelines for your assessment work for that module.
