ABSTRACT

This chapter explores how to develop an impressive looking referencing system that can cover all undergraduate needs. Any quotation between a word and a sentence in length should be incorporated within the main body of an essay. Footnotes are there to record what sources were used and cited during the discussion. They give readers the chance to follow up any interesting looking articles, books and web resources for themselves. After the first short reference, the appropriate page numbers should simply have been included parenthetically in the main body of the text. Footnotes might be tiresome to do, but they look impressive and anyone can get them right. The bibliography lives at the end of an essay and tells the reader what books were have used while preparing an essay. In general, anything that has been read, or even sniffed at, belongs in the bibliography; otherwise one lays open to the charge of plagiarism.
