UON library guide to AGLC4: Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4th edition

General Rules for Bibliography

See details in AGLC4 1.13

  • Where a bibliography is required, it should appear at the end of your paper starting on a new page
  • Bibliography should list all sources that were relied upon (not only those referred to in the text and footnotes). 
  • The title of the bibliography should be in capitals and centred. 
  • The bibliography may be divided into the sections below. However, a section may be omitted and other categories or subdivisions may be included as needed (with appropriate renumbering). 
A Articles/Books/Reports 
B Cases 
C Legislation 
D Treaties 
E Other 
 
  • The section titles should be centred and in italics
  • Within each section, sources should be listed in alphabetical order according to the first element of the citation (excluding ‘the’). If the first element is the same, list by the second element (and so on)
  • Unlike the footnotes, the 1st author's first name and surname should be inverted and separated by a comma. For works with more than one author, only the first author's name and surname are inverted
  • Unlike the footnotes, there is no full stop at the end of the bibliography entry
  • References in the bibliography should be flush left (not indented)

Sample Bibliography

 

AGLC features footnotes in the text, and if needed a sectional bibliography at the end of the document. A bibliography provides the full details of the sources cited in the text and any other sources you have consulted but not cited in your paper. Sources are listed in alphabetical order within each section. 

See the general rules for bibliography for more details.
