When writing
your assignments you may refer to other author's works and these
must be acknowledged. The use of footnotes or referencing allows
you to acknowledge others' ideas or direct statements.
Footnotes are numbers that are placed at the end of a sentence
and slightly raised. Each footnote refers to further information
that is found at the bottom of that page. An example is given on
the next page under the Website heading.
Referencing is done slightly differently. The author and
date are mentioned in the body of the text and a list of references
is included at the end of the text.
The following is just a guide for citing items based on the Style
Manual for Authors, Editors and Publishers 1996 5th ed, AGPS Press,
Canberra.
Books
Author's surname
and initials or given name - year of publication - title of publication
- edition - editor if other than the author - publisher - place

If two authors, link them by an ampersand (&) and if three or
more separate by commas and linked by a final ampersand.
e.g. Smith, J., Jones, L., & Gregory, P.
If edited list name then (ed.) after e.g. Hay (ed)
Publisher(s) name should normally be cited in full, if it is included
in the name of the publisher it should be replaced by an ampersand.
