Question

Explain the different types of referencing.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depending on the way in which they record sources, scholarly reference styles can be divided into three main categories: documentary notes styles, parenthetical (or author-date) styles, and numbered styles. Within each category there are several, slightly different reference styles.

Answer 2

The different types of referencing are as follows:

• Documentary note styles: You must offer references in the form of footnotes or endnotes in this category.
• Some numbers, sometimes known as superscripts, are commonly used to show these notes.

• Parenthetical referring styles: In-text references are often provided before the full stop of the sentence in the parenthetical referencing style.
• This category of reference includes some of the most widely used styles, such as MLA, APA, and Harvard.

• Numbered styles: The sources are often ascribed with some Arabic numbers within square brackets or superscripts in this category of referencing.
