Bibliographical references

There are rules to do biblioghraphic references?

Regarding standardization literature, there is a rule in Portugal, NP 405 – Information and Documentation: References, which covers several types of documents:

• Printing (NP405-1)

• Non-book materials (NP405-2)

• unpublished documents (NP405-3)

• Electronic (NP405-4).

Here you will find information on the essential elements that should always be included in a reference as well as some examples.

Please pay attention to punctuation.
