OSCOLA
OSCOLA referencing style is used when submitting work for a module for the School of Law. Due to the complexity of particular sources, some entries are very detailed. Make sure to fully read each page.
You must reference anything you use which is not your own work in order to avoid being accused of plagiarism. However, you will find that many departments at the University of Portsmouth do not allow you to use lecture notes as a source for your essays. When writing your essay, you should use the reading list and any slides, notes, etc. which your lecturer has given you and turn to the sources listed in these. If your lecturer has not indicated where they obtained the information you want to use, ask your lecturer for the source details.
