IN-TEXT REFERENCES General rules 

Use in-text references to acknowledge each author or source of information (print or online) used within your writing either by paraphrasing or using a direct quote.



In-text reference details include the author(s) family name (or company or organisation name, if the author is a company or organisation) and year of publication, with extra information if required, such as page numbers.



Use an ampersand (&) when listing authors in parentheses. For example: (Lewis & Lewis 2015). Use the full word 'and' when mentioning an author(s) in a sentence. For example: Lewis and Lewis (2015) ... .



When a work has two or three authors, always list all author(s) names every time the reference occurs in the text.



When a work has four or more authors, list the first author(s) name followed by et al. For example: Haslam et al. (2013) ... or (Haslam et al. 2013).



If the author of a reference is unknown, list the reference based on the title of the work.



If the publication date of a reference is unknown, use n.d.

Direct quote is when you are using the exact words of the author(s). Do not overuse direct quotes. Put direct quotes between single inverted commas (quotation marks), and add a page number. If no page number is available, include the location of the quote using a paragraph number or section heading. The word paragraph can be abbreviated to para. If you omit words from a direct quote, you will need to add a space followed by three ellipsis dots (...) and another space. For example: Cannon (2012, p. 165) argues that 'changes in corporate approaches to such sensitive areas ... will require coherent change strategies'. Block quotations are quotes of more than 30 words in length. Block quotes need to start on a new line, be indented from the text margin and set in smaller text size without single inverted commas (quotation marks). At the end of the quote, include the reference details such as author name, year and page number(s) in parentheses. Paraphrasing is when you are expressing the ideas of the author(s) in your own words. An in-text reference can be inserted at the beginning, middle or end of a sentence.

Cannon (2012, p. 165) argues that 'changes in corporate approaches to such sensitive areas as hazard reduction, resource use, waste, pollution, etc. will require coherent change strategies'. Paraphrasing

Book with four or more authors For in-text citations, give only the first author's family name, followed by "et al." and the publication year. Direct quote

Haslam et al. (2013, p. 78) argues 'that wealth accumulation matters, because it provides the financial foundation upon which to secure income ...'. Paraphrasing

Paraphrasing

The adoption of creative industries has been driven by policy disclosure (Flew 2013, 2014).

If you use an edited book (where the chapters have no identifying author(s) details) in an in-text reference, use the editor(s) family name(s) as the author(s).
