It should contain all sources used to create the assessment.

However, please note that a bibliography is not a literature search – merely putting in all the things you can find, without actually reading or using them to write the assessment, is not appropriate. 

In longer works (e.g. dissertation or theses), statutes and case law should be contained in tables at the front of the work.

Compile the bibliography as you go - do not leave it to the end as it is not something that can be added as an afterthought. It can be useful to compile your bibliography in a separate document.

Guidance on how to compile a bibliography is contained in Part 1.7 of the OSCOLA full guide.

You should organise your bibliography by types of source (categories), including (but not limited to):

• Books;

• Journal articles;

• Official documents and government publications;

• News and media sources;

• Internet sources • Other/ miscellaneous (e.g. projects, interviews etc.)

For each category, you should list the relevant sources in alphabetical order.
