Oxford Style

With this style citations are numbered within the text , usually in superscript and then details are listed either at  footnotes or endnotes at the end of a chapter. It is a referencing style that is mainly used in the Humanities

If referring for a second time to a previously cited work, it is not necessary to repeat all details in full. Include enough information to identify the work and other information such as page numbers.

Second reference to a different part of the same book - G. Gibbs, p. 100.
  • Second reference to two books by the same author already cited- G. Gibbs, Teaching Students to learn, p. 200.
  • G. Gibbs, Student teaching, p. 60.

There is an older, Latin style of later referencing. The following list of terms is included for your convenience.

  • ibid., p.22 = same author and work as cited in the footnote immediately preceding, but different page number.
  • Gibbs, op. cit., p. 82 = work cited by this author in a footnote earlier, but not immediately preceding.
  • Gibbs, loc.cit. = work and page number by this author cited in an earlier footnote.

The Bibliography at the end of your assignment should be in a clear logical order. It is usual to list everything in an alphabetical sequence by author's surname; in the case of an editor by the title of the book. Journal articles are treated as a book.

For more information on this style see the USQ Library Oxford Style Guide or the Deakin University Guide
