Detailed explanation-1: -Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Detailed explanation-2: -People often get confused about how to reference an appendix to their work, but the answer’s easy – you don’t reference the appendix itself. All you need to do is signpost it in your text, eg (see Appendix A). If the appendix is something you have written yourself, then you may have included references within it.
Detailed explanation-3: -As a minimum, the reference should contain the author’s name, the date of the publication, the title, and the source (I.e. where it came from). Additional information is also required for journals, such as the page number(s), the volume number and the issue number (see example).
