The QUT cite booklet

The QUT cite booklet is a resource to assist you to reference and cite your sources correctly. It covers topics such as:

  • Referencing sources and citing authors
  • Creating in-text citations
  • Preparing reference lists

Supplementary writing guides

In most disciplines and courses at QUT, students will be required to reference and cite using one or more of the following four main styles. QUT cite is therefore supplemented by the following print-on-demand style guides which you can print, fold and store in your QUT cite|write kit .

For each style, the guides provide examples of how to format your reference or citation correctly. The most common types of examples are listed in the brief format of each guide. If you wish to see more examples, you can also view or print the expanded guide for each style.

Important to note

The changes are also available as stickers which you can use to update your print booklet. You can collect these stickers from Library Help Desks and QUT Bookshops.
