OSCOLA
OSCOLA referencing style is used when submitting work for a module for the School of Law. Due to the complexity of particular sources, some entries are very detailed. Make sure to fully read each page.
This is an interpretation of OSCOLA guidance. Check with your lecturer before using this suggestion, which is based on the scheme's guiding principles of consistency and consideration for the reader.
If the original version of a book in a language other than English is used as a source, reference the original version.
If your source is written in a language that does not use Latin characters (Aa, Bb, Cc, etc.), such as Russian, it is recommended that you transliterate the details. So a book whose title is in Russian (i.e. written using Cyrillic characters), e.g.
к Комментарии «Евгению Онегину» Александра Пушкина
...should be referenced like this:
V Nabokov, Kommentarii k 'Evgeniiu Oneginu' Aleksandra Pushkina NPK, Moscow 1999.
