7. Bibliography

7.1 General Principles

A complete bibliography must be included at the end of the document. The bibliography lists all works cited in footnotes.

  • Entries are arranged alphabetically by the surname of the author
  • Use a hanging indent for each entry
  • Bibliography entries are single-spaced (1.0 spacing) within each entry, with one blank line between entries. This spacing rule applies only to the bibliography.
  • Titles of books and journals are italicised
  • Article and chapter titles appear in quotation marks.
