section of this book. It would be a remarkably pedantic tutor who did not think<br />

this was a good idea as well.<br />

Referencing books<br />

The format for referencing a book is the same in the text as for journals. In the<br />

reference section record: author’s last name, author’s initials, year of publication<br />

in parentheses, title of book in italics, place of publication and name of publisher.<br />

For example:<br />

Latto, J., & Latto, R. (2009). Study skills for psychology students. Maidenhead, England:<br />

McGraw-Hill/Open University Press.<br />

Referencing specific chapters in edited books<br />

The format for referencing a chapter in the References section is: author’s last<br />

name, author’s initials, year of publication in parentheses, title of chapter, name<br />

of editor(s), the editor(s) abbreviation in parentheses, title of book, page numbers,<br />

place of publication and name of publisher. For example:<br />

Latto, R. (1995) The brain of the beholder. In R. Gregory, J. Harris, P. Heard, & D. Rose<br />

(Eds.), The artful eye (pp. 66–94). Oxford, England: Oxford University Press.<br />

Referencing work from a secondary source<br />

This is the thing that seems to give students most trouble, but the principle is<br />

quite logical. In the text, name the original work and the secondary source:<br />

Lea (1999, as cited in Latto & Latto, 2009)<br />

Then in the References section just list the primary source:<br />

APPENDIX 1 179<br />

Latto, J., & Latto, R. (2009). Study skills for psychology students. Maidenhead, England:<br />

McGraw-Hill/Open University Press.
