Referencing style
A referencing style is a set of rules telling you how to acknowledge the thoughts, ideas and works of others in a particular way.
Referencing is a crucial part of successful academic writing and is key to your assignments and research.
Styles commonly used by the School of Pharmacy are Vancouver or APA
However, always check with your lecturer, tutor or course co-ordinator about the referencing style they want you to use.
