New edition of Cite them right: the essential referencing guide published


Graham Shields (Learning Adviser, Learning, Information and Student Services) is the co-author of the new (8th) edition of Cite them right: the essential referencing guide, which has just been published by Palgrave Macmillan.


Although this is a new publisher for the book, the style and layout are immediately recognisable from the previous editions. Reference examples have been updated and new material (for example, Twitter and Pebblepad) added. The new edition also includes a section covering the Vancouver referencing style. Palgrave Macmillan are marketing the new edition alongside Stella Cottrell’s The Study Skills Handbook.
