- What is it?
- A one-stop website for advice on how to reference different types of information sources in the University of Portsmouth agreed style (Harvard APA). Vancouver and Oscola referencing styles have now been added too.
- How does it help?
- It helps students by giving advice on both how to reference sources in the text and in the bibliography/reading list, plus other sources of help. It helps lecturers and support staff because it provides an authority list of how to reference different sources.
- Can I suggest other types of material to be included?
- Of course, please e-mail your Faculty Librarian or Anne Worden.
