You may have noticed a few tweaks to the Cite Them Right referencing guidance in the new 13th edition of the book. Not to worry, it is mostly small stuff. Here is a summary of what you might come across:
- Removal of place of publication from citations to most source types (e.g. books, films, maps).
- Inclusion of paragraph numbers in in-text citations where helpful (optional).
- Use title case for titles of works in your text and sentence case for reference list entries (the previous advice was to use the title as given).
Your tutors should be aware of the changes and are ready to support you. The Library is here to help you, too, with:
- free online training to help you get a grip on referencing.
- a handy Quick Guide to referencing with examples.
- a 24/7 Helpdesk to answer your queries about referencing or anything else!
