Bibliography: Literature and reference lists
The bibliography should be placed at the end of the assignment. It would contain all of the sources you have used in your work and that you have cited in your text.
The bibliography should provide all of the information the reader needs to identify the sources you have used and be able to find them.
There are several standard formats for writing bibliographies, depending upon the subject you are studying. You must check this with your advisor or instructor. Once you have chosen one standard, it is important that you follow this consistently. Below, you will find example for a book in APA style
A book with one author can, for example, be listed like this (APA 7th):
|
|
Last name, First initial. (Year). Title of the book in italics (Edition – if available). Publisher. |
|
|
Fitzgerald, F. S. (1926). The Great Gatsby. Chatto & Windus |
|
|
|
|
| The bibliography is sorted alphabetically by the first author's name or corporation name in the entry. If the sources have the same authors, sort next by year of publication, oldest first. |

Your obligations
As a student of UiA, you are obligated to learn the rules that apply to how to cite sources of various types in the written work you submit for evaluation. In return, it is your department's obligation to give you the guidance you need to feel secure that you are following sound and acceptable practice in terms of citing of sources. Ask your advisor if you are in doubt.
