Sources must be cited in two ways:

1.   As in-text citations in the body of the text when other people's ideas or words are used.

Examples below after T:

In-text citations consist of the author's name and year of publication inserted at an appropriate point in the text.

Sternberg (1993) suggests results should be carefully analysed

                                                         OR

a discussion of results analysis (Sternberg, 1993)

• Page numbers are included in the in-text citation for direct quotations, such as (Sternberg, 1993, p.59).
• Direct quotations 40 words or less should be typed within the text surrounded by quotation marks, while direct quotations more than 40 words should be included as a separate paragraph.

2.  In a list entitled References at the end of the main body of the text.

     Examples below after R:

A reference list entry includes information about the source such as author, publication date, title, place of publication and publisher, but may include additional information depending on the type of source.

• The reference list starts a new page and is arranged alphabetically by author's last name.
• References are double spaced with the second and subsequent lines of each reference indented.
• Other sources consulted but not cited are listed separately under the heading Bibliography.
