Referencing Guide
MHRA
The Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA) style is a notes system where footnotes are used to acknowledge sources. To avoid interrupting your text, footnotes are placed at the bottom of the page and a reference list is provided at the end of the work.
The full guide can be downloaded from http://www.mhra.org.uk.

It is recommended you check with your department that your reference style is appropriate for your assignment.
Formatting in-text citation
The basic components for each reference usually include:
Author(s)/Editor(s), Title and Publication Details
If the publication details cannot be ascertained use:
[n.p.] for no place of publication
[n. pub.] for no publisher
[n.d.] for no date.
Referencing Tools
Using referencing software can save time by helping you create and manage your references. Bibliographic records can be imported from library catalogues, databases and Google Scholar and reused in word processing software, to create in-text citations or footnotes and automatic reference lists and bibliographies in a consistent format.
