When an author has more than one work, how should I list them in my references?
Answer
If an author has produced multiple works within a single year, you can differentiate between them by placing ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’, etc. after the year in both citations and references. The source you cited first in your assignment is given the letter ‘a’, the second is given ‘b’ and so on.
Citations:
(Smith, 2022a, p. 45), (Smith, 2022b, p. 185), etc.
Reference list:
Smith, C. (2022a) Rubens and his art. London: Killinton Press.
Smith, C. (2022b) Flemish masters. Basingstoke: Phaidon Press.
Multiple works by the same author but published in different years should be listed chronologically in the reference list with the earliest first.
Huang, W. (2023) Wound care. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
Huang, W. (2024) Emergency care for trauma patients. London: Palgrave Macmillan.
