In the notation system of referencing, a number is placed in superscript within the text, and the full reference (including all bibliographic details) is placed either at the bottom of the page (footnotes), or at the end of the piece of work (endnotes)
A full reference list should also be provided at the end of the assignment. Not all style guides will advise you to do this as it is very repetitive; however, it is much easier for an interested reader to look through an alphabetical list of references, rather than flip through the pages of your assignment trying to locate sources of different information.
In summary, the first footnote or an endnote reference to a source should contain all the bibliographic information necessary to identify it. These details should then be followed by the page number or numbers of the quotation or specific reference.
The second and subsequent references to a particular source may be abbreviated in two ways: by abbreviating the information of the first citation or by using Latin abbreviations such as ibid and op.cit..
Abbreviated information:
- Y. Anzai and H. A. Simon. The theory of learning by doing. Psychological Review, 86, 124-180, 1979, p. 126
- Anzai & Simon, p. 178
If two works of the author are referred to, however, more information will be required; for example,
- A. Baddeley, Human Memory: Theory and Practice, Allyn and Bacon, Boston,1990.
- A. Baddeley, ‘Working memory’, Science , vol. 255, pp.556-559, 1992.
- Baddeley, Human Memory, p. 345.
