Summary

The video explains how to cite sources and prepare a bibliography for college assignments and academic writing. Its central point is that sources used in an assignment should be acknowledged to help avoid plagiarism. The tutorial focuses on textbooks and websites and presents general manual formats rather than specifying a particular citation style.

Writing citations

A citation identifies material taken from a source. When possible, paraphrase the source in your own words and still provide a citation.

For a textbook citation, include the author’s surname, publication year, and the page number where the material appears:

• One author: The author’s surname, year, and page number.
• Two authors: Both authors’ surnames, year, and page number.
• Three authors: All three authors’ surnames, year, and page number.
• More than three authors: The first author’s surname, followed by an abbreviation meaning “and others,” then the year and page number. The subtitle’s exact abbreviation is unclear.

For a website citation, the video says to include the author’s surname when available, the website address, and the date and time the site was accessed. It demonstrates both paraphrased and un-paraphrased examples, but the auto-generated subtitles do not clearly preserve their exact formatting.

Writing a bibliography

The bibliography should match the sources actually cited in the assignment. The video demonstrates entries for books and websites, recommends using Mendeley to manage references, and also shows how to format entries manually.

For a book, list:

1. The author’s surname, followed by the first name, which may be abbreviated.
2. The publication year.
3. The book title, in italics.
4. The place of publication.
5. The publisher.

Do not include the author’s title or honorific. The video emphasizes correct punctuation and italics, and illustrates entries for books with one, two, three, and more than three authors.

For a website or online article, list the author, year, article title, access date, and website address.

Arrange bibliography entries alphabetically.
