How to organize your references. Hundreds of different referencing styles. Different academic disciplines and different journals have differing priorities and requirements A few of the common referencing styles, and their origins, are explained below: 1 - APA stands for "American Psychological Association" and comes from the association of the same name. Although originally drawn up for use in psychological journals, the APA style is now widely used in the social sciences, in education, in business, and numerous other disciplines. 2 - MLA comes from the "Modern Language Association of America" and is used mainly in English and the Humanities.

Examples of referencing systems 3 - Chicago is sometimes referred to as Turabian or Chicago/Turabian. It comes from the "Chicago Manual of Style" and the simplified version of it, "A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations", that Kate Turabian wrote [Source: The Writing Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill]. Chicago is used mainly in the social sciences, including history, political studies, and theology. 4 - Vancouver originally came from The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors which produced the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" following a meeting that was held in Vancouver in 1978 [Source: Jönköping University Library]. The Vancouver style is used mainly in the medical sciences.

5 - Harvard came originally from "The Bluebook: A Uniform System of Citation" published by the Harvard Law Review Association. The Harvard style and its many variations are used in law, natural sciences, social and behavioural sciences, and medicine.

Referencing: Referencing Styles Tip! Use only one of these styles (depending on which your tutor recommends) to ensure consistency in how you cite and reference the work of others.

At the time of reading a source, record all of the bibliographic information (descriptive elements) necessary to create a citation. You can either use referencing software or record manually. It is vital to be accurate and clear at this stage to save time later on. The you should record: v Author(s)/editor(s). v Title. v Edition (1 st, 2 nd, reprint ed. revised ed. etc. ). v Page numbers for direct quotations. v Place of publication. v Publisher. v Date of publication. v Web address if online resources and Date Accessed. Tip! For large research projects where it is necessary to maintain a central library of references, we recommend Endnote, Mendeley or Zotero.
