Referencing resources

Before writing your reference list or bibliography, check with teaching staff which style to use and refer to the instructions included with your assessment. If you are required to use an author-date referencing style, APA referencing is the style to apply.

To support your learning, refer to the Library Guide APA 7th Referencing for examples on how to reference various formats such as journal articles, books, newspapers, social media, webpages, legislation & cases and more. 

The library guide also includes a section on generative AI and a sample reference list.
