What are the four elements of a reference?

Answer

To create a reference, look for these four elements from the source:

  • Author: Who is responsible for the work?
  • Date: When was the work published?
  • Title: What is the work called?
  • Source: Where can I retrieve this work?

 

Reference list entry:
