Resources for Academic Writing Structure Academic Written Reports/Essays Bibliography

Bibliography

You have to have a bibliography.  

In the references you need to have information about:

• The author (last name first)  
• What year it was printed  
• Title (complete) in italics  
• Where it was published (city)  
• Publisher  
• Edition  
• ISBN-number (sometimes optional)

If it is a magazine, a newspaper or an article of some kind you need information about what volume it is and also what pages you have read. 

If there are no individual authors connected to the text you should use the title of the work instead.

If the source comes from an interview you should follow the standard procedure, but, of course, exclude the things that cannot exist, such as ISBN-number!
