HKU Libraries — citation and referencing guide
Follow a university library’s five-step roadmap to citing sources correctly, and find the referencing style used in your subject area.
Hong Kong institution, statutory body or programme published for Hong Kong; individual services, eligibility and dates must be checked.
Recommended next action
Confirm the citation style your department requires, then reformat one existing bibliography using the guide.
Access and scope
The guide is publicly readable. Referencing is general academic practice — it is not preparation for any specific employer or programme.
What to check at source
The guide itself tells readers to confirm the required citation style with their own course or assignment requirements, so no single style is asserted here.
