See 1.13

You will not always need to include a bibliography with your assignment. Please check your assignment instructions or check with your subject coordinator if you are unsure whether a bibliography is required.

 

  • A bibliography appears at the end of a document and lists all sources relied upon (not just those referred to in text and in footnotes)
  • Do not include pinpoint references in a bibliography (Note that the starting page of some sources, such as journal articles and reported cases, forms part of the citation and is separate from the pinpoint)
  • Do not place a full stop at the end of a citation
  • In a bibliography, the author's surname comes before their first name, separated by a comma (if a source has more than one author, only the first author is listed as surname first)
  • Arrange the sources of each section in alphabetical order according to:
    • Case name or legislation title
    • The first listed author's surname
    • The name of the institution (excluding the word 'the')
    • Where there is no author, the first word of the title (excluding the word 'the')
  • A bibliography may be divided into the sections as shown below (you may change/remove/add other categories or subdivisions as relevant/needed):

A  Articles/Books/Reports

Cases

Legislation

Treaties

Other
