List the author or authors' names first. Regardless of whether it is a book or a journal article, the author name comes at the beginning of your entry, last name first, then first name or initial following.
Add the year of the publication in parenthesis immediately after the name of the author. This is the year the book or journal was published.
List the title of the work next, either the book title, or article if using an article published in a journal or other periodical.
Follow the title with information on the volume or issue number if it is part of the reference. For a book this does not apply, but it does apply for a journal or other periodical, including a periodical that is published online.
Complete the standard reference with the location of the publication or publisher, then the name of the publisher, whether it is the book publisher or name of the periodical.
Add a notation that lists the reference as "retrieved from" if using an online source, and then follow that indicator with the proper web address of the source. The web address should be complete and not just the name of the website itself.
Annotate the reference by writing about 150 words to describe the referenced work and its purpose. What the work researched or accomplished is the main focus, but you can touch on why it is relevant as well.
