Lesson 4- (Writing List of References)
This module will help the learners write the list of various references used in
their research study.

Learning Target

In this module, you are expected to write the list of references used in your
research study.

Vocabulary List

The following term will be encountered in the lesson:

References

should be written in-text (as parentheses), at the bottom of the page (as
footnotes) or as end notes in a separate notes section at the end of a chapter
or at the end of the thesis
the last page of an essay or research paper that’s been written in APA style
list of all the sources used in your project so readers can find what were cited
a list similar to works cited list and is a term used when citing sources using
APA format style and is arranged alphabetically by author’s last name.

Learning About It

The list of reference materials used in the conduct of the research study is
very important for the researchers to show in the final written research report.

Types of Sources
1. Primary Sources- research publications where researches report their findings.
2. Secondary Source-publications in which authors describe the work of others.
Textbook is also an example. Encyclopedia research review and yearbooks are
also secondary sources for literature review.

 Citations

You can cite books, magazines, newspaper, computer articles, journal and
film. These can be your sources for your literature review.

Styles of Referencing

 APA is an author/date-based style. This means emphasis is placed on the

author and the date of a piece of work to uniquely identify it.
 MLA is most often applied in the arts and humanities, particularly in the USA
 HARVARD is very similar to APA. It is the most well used referencing style
in the UK and Australia, and it is encouraged for use with the humanities.
 CHICAGO AND TURABIAN are two separate styles but are very similar.
They are also widely used for history and economics.

The components of reference entry are as follows:

1. Author’s Name: Type the surname first then the first, followed by a comma,
then the first name and the middle initial. If there are two to six authors, all their
names are written. If there are more than six, the remaining authors can be
represented by the words, “et al”.
2. Year of Publication. It should follow the period after the author’s name and
should be enclosed in parentheses.
3. Book Title. The complete title and edition should be written. The entire book
title should be italicized or underlined. Only the first letter of the first word and
proper names must be capitalized.
4. Journal Title. The title of the article in roman face and sentence case (only the
first letter of the first word and proper names must be capitalized) appears first.
The title of the journal itself appears in italics and in title case ( the first letter of
each substantial word is capitalized).
5. Place of Publication. The place where the book was published should be
written, followed by a colon.
6. Publishing House. The name of the publishing house follows the place of
publication.
