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.

Think carefully if this is an authoritative source.  This may be deduced from its origins, e.g a government website, a recognised charity, research organization, or a reputable academic journal.

Where the author is not identified, and the source has clearly been written/published by a recognised authoritative body, cite the body that produced the document.

Footnote example

9 IDS, 'Violence at work: the legal implications' [2018] IDS Emp L Brief 12, 16.


If no such body can be identified and the item is clearly written by an anonymous individual/group and published in a trustworthy publication, insert two em dashes (like this: —— ) in place of the author's name.
