Citing and referencing

Acknowledging the work of others is important for maintaining academic integrity and showing evidence of your research.

Each referencing style has a specific set of formatting rules. Use these guides to learn how to reference a wide range of sources – from books and articles to Indigenous knowledges and AI-generated content. Our accessible online guides and tutorials can be done in your own time, whenever it suits you. Contact your lecturer or supervisor if you're unsure which style to use.
