The library holds these and other guides to citation and bibliographic format. The most useful of these are listed in the bibliography. There are four further points which you should consider when citing references, particularly if you are studying at postgraduate level or are writing for publication. There are many acceptable variations in style for each of the referencing styles described here. You should also be guided by the conventions of the discipline you are studying.
Some styles are more acceptable in some disciplines than in others.
You should also conform to the specifications of your lecturers, tutors or supervisors. If you are planning to have an item published in a journal, you should first ascertain the citation style required for that journal. Such information would not normally be included in a bibliography.
