REFERENCE MANAGER

1. MLA (MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION) STYLE:

The MLA system uses in-text citations rather than footnotes or endnotes. The citations in-text are very brief, usually just the author's family name and a relevant page number. These citations correspond to the full references in the list of works cited at the end of the document.

IN-TEXT CITATIONS:

If the author's name is mentioned in the sentence, only cite the page number.

• If the author's name is not mentioned in the sentence, cite both the name and the page number.
• Font and capitalisation must match that in the reference list.
• Long quotations (more than three lines) should be indented.
• If you are citing more than one reference at the same point in a document, separate the references with a semicolon eg (Smith 150; Jackson 41).
• If the work has no author, use the title.
• If you are citing two works by the same author, put a comma after the author's name and add title words. eg (Smyth, "Memories of Motherhood" 77) to distinguish between them in the in-text citation. Do this when citing each of the sources throughout the piece of writing.
• If two authors have the same surname, use their first initial eg (G. Brown 26)

WORKS CITED LIST:

• The recommended heading for the reference list is Works Cited, which should be centered.
• Each reference should be formatted with double-spacing and a hanging indent.
• Capitalise the first word of the title or subtitle, and all other significant words.
• Author's names should be listed with full forenames if known.
• The name of the first author is inverted to list the family name first. If there are additional authors their names are not inverted.
• If you cite more than one work by the same author, give the names in the first entry only. Thereafter, use three hyphens instead of the name, eg ---.
• If a reference does not have an author, list it by title. Ignore the leading article (A, The etc.) when inserting the reference into the alphabetical works cited list.
• If you cannot validate a reference's authorship, date of publication or its authoritativeness, especially if it is an online resource, consider using another similar reference that is more authoritative instead.
• For a journal article in an online database (e.g. via the Library website) include the name of the database (italicized), the medium of publication (Web) and the date of access.
• When there are two or more cities or places listed for the one publisher select the first listed place of publication. (5.5.2)
• When the title page lists two or more publishers which are not just two or more offices of the same publisher, include all of them, in the order given, as part of the publication information, putting a semicolon after the name of each publisher but the last (e.g. Cambridge: Cambridge UP; London: Routledge, 2002.). (5.5.18)

2. APA (AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION) STYLE:

APA (American Psychological Association) style is most frequently used within the social sciences, in order to cite various sources.  This APA Citation Guide, revised according to the 6th edition of the APA manual, provides the general format for in-text citations and the reference page.

When citing a book in APA, keep in mind:

• Capitalize the first letter of the first word of the title and any subtitles, as well as the first letter of any proper nouns.
• The full title of the book, including any subtitles, should be stated and italicized.

When creating your online journal article citation, keep in mind:

• APA does NOT require you to include the date of access/retrieval date or database information for electronic sources.
• You can use the URL of the journal homepage if there is no DOI assigned and the reference was retrieved online.

3. CHICAGO STYLE:

The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars.

The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities, including those in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in notes and, often, a bibliography. It accommodates a variety of sources, including esoteric ones less appropriate to the author-date system.

The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. In this system, sources are briefly cited in the text, usually in parentheses, by author’s last name and date of publication. The short citations are amplified in a list of references, where full bibliographic information is provided.

4. HARVARD STYLE:

• The Harvard citation style is the preferred referencing style for many disciplines of study at the University of Western Australia. It is an in-text referencing style. The Harvard citation style can vary in minor features such as punctuation, capitalisation, abbreviations, and the use of italics. When citing journal articles with multiple authors, follow the same format for the author field as for books with multiple authors.
• When citing make sure you indicate which is the title of the "article" and which is the title of the "Journal".
• Citations for online journals must have the access date and details of the database in which the journal appears online. [Note: Databases are 'bundles' of journals and a journal article found online will often be in a journal that is part of a bigger database.]
• When citing "born-digital" journal articles from an online journal (one that has never been produced in print form):
• Do not include an issue or volume number (unless they are present)
• For direct quotations, include a paragraph number in the place of page numbers in in-text references, using the abbreviation 'para'. Count paragraphs if numbers are not visible, and for long articles use section headings to break up the paragraph numbering. Enclose the section headings in single quotation marks within the in-text reference (e.g.. 'Introduction' para. 3).

5. VANCOUVER STYLE:

Vancouver is a numbered referencing style commonly used in medicine and science, and consists of:

• citations to someone else's work in the text, indicated by the use of a number
• a sequentially numbered reference list at the end of the document providing full details of the corresponding in-text reference

It follows rules maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine. 

• References are listed in numerical order, and in the same order in which they are cited in text. The reference list appears at the end of the paper.
• Begin your reference list on a new page and title it 'References.'
• The reference list should include all and only those references you have cited in the text. (However, do not include unpublished items such as correspondence).
• Use Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9).
• Abbreviate journal titles in the style used in the NLM Catalog
• Check the reference details against the actual source - you are indicating that you have read a source when you cite it.
• Be consistent with your referencing style across the document.

BibTeX REFERENCING:

In LaTeX, one can use a number of different bibliography styles. This style defines the layout of the pointers in the body text (e.g. ``[1]''), as well as the layout of the reference list. For your convenience, we put here a sample output result for a few bibliography styles (look for other ones in ~texmf/bibtex/bst/*.bst).

Most common are abbrv, acm, alpha, apalike, ieeetr, plain, siam and unsrt.

EXAMPLE:

@article{bincy2014analysis,
title={Analysis and Design of Low Voltage Low Noise LVDS Receiver},

XML:

Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. It is defined by the W3C's XML 1.0 Specification and by several other related specifications, all of which are free open standards.

The design goals of XML emphasize simplicity, generality and usability across the Internet. It is a textual data format with strong support via Unicode for different human languages. Although the design of XML focuses on documents, it is widely used for the representation of arbitrary data structures such as those used in web services.

EPUB:

EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension .epub that can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers. It is a free and open standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). The term is short for electronic publication and is sometimes styled ePub. EPUB is the most widely supported vendor-independent XML-based (as opposed to PDF) e-book format; that is, it is supported by the largest number of hardware readers.

It is also widely used on many software readers such as iBooks on iOS and Google Books on Android. iBooks also supports the proprietary iBook format, which is based on the EPUB format but depends upon code from the iBooks app to function. An ePub publication is delivered as a single file. This file is an unencrypted zipped archive containing a set of interrelated resources.

HTML:

HyperText Markup Language, commonly abbreviated as HTML, is the standard markup language used to create web pages. Along with CSS, and JavaScript, HTML is a cornerstone technology used to create web pages, as well as to create user interfaces for mobile and web applications. Web browsers can read HTML files and render them into visible or audible web pages. HTML describes the structure of a website semantically and, before the advent of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), included cues for the presentation or appearance of the document (web page), making it a markup language, rather than a programming language. HTML elements form the building blocks of HTML pages. HTML allows images and other objects to be embedded and it can be used to create interactive forms. It provides a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. HTML elements are delineated by tags, written using angle brackets. 

ENDNOTE:

An endnote is source citation that refers the readers to a specific place at the end of the paper where they can find out the source of the information or words quoted or mentioned in the paper. When using endnotes, your quoted or paraphrased sentence or summarized material is followed by a superscript number. By default, EndNote creates a single bibliography at the end of the word processing document. With EN and Microsoft Word, you can create a bibliography for each section of the document (or for each section as well as one at the end of the document). EndNote can be used to create a bibliography independent of a paper, such as an annotated bibliography.

RefMan:

Reference Manager is a software package for compiling personal databases in which to save and reuse bibliographic data (bibliography manager). Reference Manager is most commonly used by people who want to share a central database of references and need to have multiple users adding and editing records at the same time. You can specify whether users are allowed to make edits to the database. Reference Manager offers different in-text citation templates for each Reference Type. When writing papers, you may want to have a different in-text citation style depending on the reference type you are citing. Reference Manager Web Publisher allows publishing a reference databases to an intranet or internet site. This allows anyone with a web browser to search and download references into their own bibliographic software. Others can even edit the reference information (so that it is wise to password protect the site). Web Publisher includes functionality to interact with SOAP and WSDL standard services.

CSV FORMAT:

The CSV ("Comma Separated Values") file format is often used to exchange data between differently similar applications. The CSV file format is useable by KSpread, OpenOffice Calc and Microsoft Excel spread-sheet applications. Many other applications support CSV in some fashion, to import or export data. CSV files have become obsolete due to XML data exchange possibilities (ie ODF, SOAP).
