Search Techniques: Managing your results

Most BU students follow instructions in the BU Harvard Referencing guide.

If you're a BU student studying one the following courses, you use a different referencing style and other instructions:

• Law students (FMC) should follow BU’s online guides Referencing – UK & EU Law and Referencing – International law.
• Psychology students (SciTech) should follow APA style.
• History students (FMC) should follow Chicago Style.
• Criminology with Psychology (HSS) students need to use both BU Harvard and APA

• Criminology with Law (HSS) students use BU Harvard and OSCOLA referencing style guidance - UK & EU Law and International Law.  Any questions please email HSS Library Team (hsslibteam@bournemouth.ac.uk).

• EndNote is reference management software that helps you organise sources you find when researching. Any student, researcher, or member of staff can use Endnote web (online version). There is also a desktop version that we recommend may be more useful for BU staff or PhD researchers (both versions of Endnote can be synchronised).
• Endnote also autogenerates reference lists and works with Microsoft Word to insert citations and reference lists. Always check the references that EndNote creates before submission. References are autogenerated from metadata that may be improperly coded. The official referencing style guidelines for Harvard(BourneU) are located here: BU Harvard instructions.
