The information needed for your reference list has to be collected when actually using the particular document. It is not sufficient to photocopy the title page of the document, for this may not contain all the information needed for a proper reference.
A publication / article etc. retrieved from the website (of an organisation) is presented according to the guidelines for printed publications + the url and if necessary the date of retrieval. If a document or article is only available on the web, the information on the publisher or the journal can be omitted. For documents available in the IRC (virtual) library a ready made reference can be retrieved from IRCDOC http://www.irc.nl/docsearch/search.
In general a reference starts with the name of the author(s) followed by the year of publication, the title, the publisher and eventually the series.
Bastemeijer, T.F. and Visscher, J.T. (1987). Maintenance systems for rural water supplies. The Hague, The Netherlands, IRC. (Occasional paper; no. 8)
The most common types of publications to be put in your reference list are:
- a complete publication (book, report)
- an article in a journal
- a part of a publication (chapter in a book)
- a paper presented at a meeting
- electronic documents
- web sites
These types of publications all have their own way of presentation.
