Biblical references should give book, chapter and verse (you need not refer to the Old
or New Testament):
Ecclesiastes 12: 1.
5.5.6 Indirect Citations
An indirect citation (sometimes referred to as a secondary source citation) is a work to
which you have access only indirectly, through a citation in the source you are
using. These should be avoided because they show you have not read the original
work. For instance, suppose you read a text by Sue Vice in which she discusses the
work of Mikhail Bakhtin. If you want to quote Bakhtin, you should get hold of the
original text by him and not take the quotation from Vice. When no alternative is
available or the original text is in a language you do not speak, you should provide
as much information about the original text (the full name of the original author, the
full title of the book or article, and the year of publication) as you possibly can in the
running text. The actual reference is to the source you have used:
(Bakhtin in Vice 1997: 32).
6 The List of References
Golden Rules for Reference Lists
Be consistent
Provide sufficient information for the interested reader to trace your sources
Please note that the punctuation used in this department has been simplified and
adapted from The Chicago Manual. The author/date references in the running text
refer the reader to the full entry, given in the “References” section at the end of the
work. Entries are given in alphabetical order by first author. You list your primary
sources (your data or other research material) and your secondary sources (scholarly
works referred to in your text) separately. Typically, the primary sources for a paper
on a literary topic would consist of the novels, poems and/or plays discussed; those
for a work on a linguistic topic would consist of the corpus or text(s) used. Secondary
sources are the scholarly / analytical works that analyse or discuss the primary
sources.
The following instructions show the order in which the different items of
information are presented and how the entry is punctuated. Examples of all major
