Oscola Referencing Guide

Summary

OSCOLA referencing involves citing legal sources accurately. For cases, include the case name, year, volume, report abbreviation, and first page. For legislation, mention the title, year, and section. Books require the authors name, title, edition, publisher, year, and page number. Journal articles need the authors name, article title, year, volume, journal name, and first page. For example, a book reference would be: T Newburn, *Criminology* (Routledge 2017) 78-105, 108-119. A journal article reference would be: J P Walsh, Social Media and Moral Panics: Assessing the Effects of Technological Change on Societal Reaction (2020) 23(6) International Journal of Cultural Studies 840-859.
