How do you prepare academic references?
References provide traceable details for ideas and data used in a work.
Key concepts and practice
Record author or organization, title, date, publisher and stable link where available. In-text citations should match the reference list. Follow the style requested by a teacher or journal, such as APA or MLA.
Examples, evaluation and limits
A bare URL is not always a complete reference; changing pages may call for an access date. Sources suggested by AI need to be opened and checked for existence and support of the claim.
