How do I reference loose-leaf volumes in OSCOLA?
Answer
Below you will find guidance and examples of how to reference loose-leaf volumes in footnotes and in the bibliography:
Footnotes:
When referencing a loose-leaf you only need the Title of the publication in italics. Only include the editors if their names appear in the title.
Example:
Ryde on Rating and the Council Tax.
Do not include pinpointing unless absolutely necessary as the pinpointing may change when the publication is updated.
If a pinpoint is included, use this format:
Title, | volume number, | paragraph number | (release/issue number OR date).
Examples:
Clarke Hall & Morrison on Children, vol 2, para 522-525 (issue 102).
Encyclopedia of Consumer Credit Law, vol 3, para X-729J (May 2017).
Bibliography:
Pinpoints are not included in the bibliography so you only need the title of the publication without the full stop at the end.
