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.
Footnotes are NOT normally included in the word count of a piece of work at the University of Portsmouth. However, footnotes are used primarily to give details of sources you have referenced. If you feel it necessary to add clarification or further information in a footnote, you may do so but your lecturer may ignore additional information included in a footnote if they think the added information belongs in the main body of the text and is being used to reduce your word count.
