    Hi,

    My RAP is 31 pages (word count is 7,400 words) is that too many pages? I used single and 1.5 spacing to make it easier to read.

    Thanks

    The volume number is for a report. I wrote the reference the same as for a report but don’t know where to fit the volume number (for example vol.145). Its a report from an advisory services. I know it is not common but they included volume numbers in their reports. Any ideas on how I should deal with this?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    I have the following format for referencing that I found online:

    Author surname(s), initial(s). (Year of publishing) Title of page/site [Online]. Available at: URL (Accessed: day month year).

    I wanted to know should I include the word online in brackets every time I list a
    reference ?( there are other examples online that don’t include it) and when listing a website name, do I always include .com ? or just the name?

    I am also not sure on how to reference the following, if you can clarify by relating to format above;

    -if I am using information (narrative) from the notes to financial statements in annual report (more than a 100 pages) do I have to include the page number in the reference?

    – a report (from a website, not from a journal) with a volume number, what is the format in this case for reference list and in text citation?

    -online articles written by different businesses with different dates (no human authors) from the same website?

    Many thanks

    Thank you for the suggestions. I have taken a look initially at the golden rules on the website and it got me confused as I remember the high school way of quoting which is not changing the words. But if if you are paraphrasing quotes what is the difference between the later and actual paraphrase? I don’t want to leave a paraphrase that needs quotes or make it look it was plagiarism?
