At Quality Assignment Solution, we use the International Referencing Style

When it comes to academic writing, referencing (or bibliography) is one of the most important requirements in every university and college worldwide. Quality Assignment Solution ensures that every assignment we deliver follows the exact referencing style demanded by your university’s rubric or assessment instructions. Below is an informative guide on the most widely used referencing styles internationally.

1. APA Referencing 7th Edition (American Psychological Association)

APA 7th Edition is one of the most widely used referencing styles globally, especially in psychology, education, business, nursing, and social sciences. The style features author-date citations within the text, accompanied by a clear structure for organizing references in the bibliography. Updates in the 7th edition include changes for citing online sources, more inclusive language, and a shift towards using "et al." for citations with three or more authors.

2. MLA Referencing (Modern Language Association)

MLA is commonly used in literature, arts, humanities, and communication studies. It highlights the use of in-text citations that include the author’s last name and the page number, followed by a detailed *Works Cited* page. The latest updates to MLA now include more flexible guidelines for citing digital sources and clarifications on formatting for non-traditional media, such as social media and videos.

3. Chicago Referencing (Turabian)

Chicago is frequently used in history, philosophy, theology, and interdisciplinary subjects. It offers two systems: Notes & Bibliography (typically used in the humanities) and Author-Date (used in sciences and social sciences). The 17th edition of the Chicago style introduces more specific guidelines for citing online sources and integrates emerging technologies, such as digital archives.

4. Harvard Referencing

Widely used across the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and internationally, Harvard referencing employs an author-date citation system. In-text citations include the author’s last name and year of publication, with the full details appearing in a reference list at the end. The style has been updated to better address how to cite electronic sources and social media. It clarifies citation formats for a variety of online documents.

5. IEEE Referencing

IEEE is commonly used in engineering, electronics, robotics, and computer science. It uses a numbered citation system, where citations are numbered in the text and matched to a corresponding reference list. The 2020 update to IEEE style includes adjustments to how digital sources and multimedia are cited, with an increased focus on maintaining accuracy in the citation of online materials.

6. Vancouver Referencing

Popular in nursing, medicine, biosciences, and healthcare, the Vancouver style follows a numbered citation system, with references listed in the order they appear in the text. Recent updates to the Vancouver style clarify the citation format for various electronic resources, including websites, online articles, and digital databases.

7. OSCOLA Referencing (Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities)

OSCOLA is primarily used for law assignments, legal case studies, and judicial reports. It provides detailed citation formats for legal cases, statutes, and legal commentary. Updates to OSCOLA now focus on the formatting and referencing of online legal documents, including databases and electronic legal journals.

8. APA 7th Edition (Updated Version)

The latest revision of APA style, APA 7th Edition, is now widely adopted by universities around the world. It includes significant updates, such as improved citation rules for online sources (including social media), streamlined guidelines for citing multiple authors, and clearer instructions for using inclusive language. This edition also provides new guidelines for citing audiovisual materials, podcasts, and other emerging media.
