9. TIPS • It is good practice to take the full details of each source information as soon as you have read it, in case it is not available later and your reference is incomplete. • If you are new to referencing, look at how published authors, especially in academic textbooks, cite their references. • You must be consistent throughout. Use lower case for all title words after the first unless there is a proper name - names of a particular person, place, thing, or idea and always begins with a capital letter. Fiona Maistry 2012
