Referencing work should be done using a bibliography which is located at the end of your work.

Bibliographies contain all of the sources you have used to help you come up with ideas or understand the subject matter more. They also include the sources that have been directly referenced in the main body of the work.

Annotating a bibliography is seen as good practice. This means including a brief description of the content, quality and usefulness of the source.

There are different ways to write a reference to be included in a bibliography. The following examples use the Harvard system which is a popular method.
