References are different for each type of resource.

 

For a journal article, you should include the author (last name, first and middle initials), year of publication (in parentheses), title, name of journal (in italics), Volume(Issue), page range, and, if possible, DOI number.

For a book, your reference should include the author(s) (last name, first and middle initials), year of publication (in parentheses), name of the book (in italics), place of publication (followed by a colon), and name of the publisher.
