The University of Notre Dame uses four referencing systems:
Students should refer to the assignment guidelines or Course Outline to identify which referencing system to use for each assignment.
Each referencing system has slightly different details and formatting requirements. The placement of symbols such as brackets, commas and full stops, will vary for each referencing system and is important in getting the referencing correct. Think of it like an email address – if you don’t put the symbols in the right place, your message cannot be sent!
