Where are my references kept?

In your own browser, so your list is waiting when you return on the same device. Assignment Achievers doesn't receive it. The only thing that leaves your device is a DOI you look up, which we pass to Crossref to fetch the details.

What if my lecturer wants a different style?

Pick the new style at the top and every entry is reformatted at once. Case law and legislation are only offered in the two legal styles, OSCOLA and AGLC.

How do I reference a website with no author?

Select Organisation and type the body that publishes the page, such as a government department. If there's no organisation either, leave the author blank and the tool puts the title first, as each style requires.

Will italics stay when I paste into Word?

Yes. The copy buttons copy formatted text, so italics and superscript numbers come through in Word and Google Docs. For author-date styles, add a hanging indent to the reference list in your document.

Why referencing earns marks

References show your marker where your evidence comes from and credit the people whose ideas you build on. Most rubrics give marks for referencing on its own, so a messy list costs you even when the writing is strong. Using someone's words or ideas without citing them is plagiarism; our guide on how to avoid plagiarism sets out when a citation is needed.

A page for each style

Want examples first? Every style has its own page showing correct references and the mistakes markers see most.
