ENTRY IN A REFERENCE WORK APP

When using an entry in a mobile app reference work, follow the format for a chapter in an edited book and an online encyclopaedia to guide you in creating your reference. See entries in the Books & eBooks tab.

Any resource that cannot be retrieved by others is considered a non-recoverable source.  As these kinds of works are not retrievable, they are not included in a reference list. These are only cited as an in-text reference.

The kinds of works considered as personal communications include:

  • emails, verbal conversations, letters, live speeches, unarchived social media livestreams, intranet sources, and similar works.
