End-of-text referencing (list of references)
The references list appears at the end of your paper, starting on a new page. It should look like the example below. Notice that the second line is right-indented 1 cm to form a hanging indent.
References
There must also be a direct link between your in-text reference and your end-of-text reference. That link is the first word you use and should be the same in both in-text and end-of-text. This is usually the author's surname, but sometimes it is the name of an organisation or the title of a work.
The APA Referencing Summary-CSU guide to referencing shows you how to set out your reference if, for example:
- there is more than one author
- there is no author but editors
- there is no publication date given
- your source is not the first edition
Some of the many sources you might reference are:
- Books
- Chapters in books
- Journals
- Newspaper articles
- Articles or chapters in an edited book
- Encyclopaedia articles
- Video/DVD recordings
- DE packages and, last but not least, the
- Internet sources: emails, forums, electronic journals and websites.
