End-of-text Referencing
The end-of-text referencing list is referred to as 'References' or 'References list'. It is the list of references at the end of your document that includes the works you actually cited or referred to in your document.
- List resources in alphabetical order using the authors' surnames.
There must be a direct link between your in-text reference and your end-text reference; that is, your in-text reference must be present in full bibliographic detail in the References list at the rear of your assignment.

Assembling a References list
- Each citation is assembled in author alphabetical order with all citations integrated, i.e. articles, texts, online sites, lecture notes, etc. are all integrated and written in one alphabetical list.
- There are no separate headings for the different types of sources, e.g. a heading for texts; a heading for online articles; a heading for journals. ALL are assembled together in alphabetical order.
- Note the second and subsequent lines of each citation are indented. This is so that the reader can scan down the left-hand side of the page and quickly identify the references sourced.
- Note the use of commas and full stops. It is important to be consistent throughout your referencing style.
- Note the referencing style suggested in your study guide and in the CSU guide, APA Referencing Summary.
