The format you use to write your in-text citations and references will vary depending on the referencing style<\/a> you use. Your school or department will recommend which citing and referencing style you should use.<\/p>\n

The most important thing is to be consistent and make sure you include all the key information for a resource.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your school or department may provide you with a referencing handbook. However, the Library subscribes to a resource called Cite Them Right, which provides in-text citation and reference templates for all the resources you’re likely to use during your studies. A hard copy book version<\/a> is also available at the Library.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cite Them Right includes help pages<\/a> and tutorials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

You will need to be enrolled on your course before you can access Cite Them Right. If you are accessing Cite Them Right off-campus, you can either login using your University username and password, or connect to our VPN Global Protect<\/a>.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t <\/div>\n\t \t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n\t \n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
