New to the university and embarking on your first assignment? Maybe you’ve been told to cite your sources for an essay and you’re wondering what this is all about. If so, we’ve got your back! There’s lots of support available.
Online guides
For those who prefer guidance in written format, there are several online guides.
The Library Subject Guides also have sections on referencing in that subject.
There’s also a guide to Refworks, which is the university’s recommended software for managing references. It’s not essential to use the software, but it might save you some time in the longrun.
