ABSTRACT

The Bibliography of a dissertation includes texts, journal articles and all other sources that have been referred to in the body of the dissertation. It does not include peripheral or background reading. The Bibliography is the final selection of the dissertation and is normally located after the appendices, except where the appendices are bound separately, when the Bibliography should be placed at the end of the main body of the dissertation. References to specific chapters or articles in edited collections are identified under the names of the particular authors and then reference is made to the whole publication. Articles in journals are always the most difficult to locate so it is essential to have complete bibliographical data. The actual journal in which an article appears is the major reference source and so it is the name of the journal that is italicised.
