AGLC Examples - Getting started with AGLC - Bibliographies

See this example properly formatted in the QUT Cite tool.

Unless instructed otherwise, it is expected that written assessment includes a bibliography.

The bibliography is divided into parts with headings specifying the type of sources which are relevant for the assessment:

A Articles/Books/Reports
B Cases
C Legislation
D International Materials
E Other

If the assessment does not include some of the types of sources listed above, the headings of those types are omitted.

Sources under the headings should be listed in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first-listed author, which should be inverted and separated by a comma. For works by two or more authors, only the first author's name and surname should be inverted.

Pinpoint references are not included in the bibliography.

Full stops should not follow the citations.
