This guide presents a simplified approach and does not cover every type of source a student might use in their research. Many schools and university websites have much more detailed style guides dealing with all aspects of referencing and these may be consulted. However, a simple approach is to ensure that references contain enough information for someone else to be able to locate and use the source and that the information is set out clearly and consistently.
