Classics: Referencing

Guide to finding information sources

Referencing in Classics

Referencing shows which sources have been used in a document and gives credit to the original authors.

Referencing for Classics is based on the Harvard system (author/date).  Note that primary sources (ancient authors, texts etc) are not given in the List of References (the term 'bibliography' is not used). Ancient authors are cited according to the conventional abbreviations supplied at the front of the Oxford Classical Dictionary (third edition). If an abbreviation is not listed there then according to those in the Oxford Latin Dictionary or Liddell, Scott, Jones ninth edition.

EndNote
