I would like to kindly ask you a question concerning the way sources are written in a bibliography. Could you tell me which of the two options is the most correct in both examples?
1) Stevenson, A (ed.). 2010. Oxford Dictionary of English. 3rd ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
2) Oxford Dictionary of English. Stevenson, A (ed.). 2010. 3rd ed. Oxford: Oxford University Press.
1) Marr, V (ed.). 2008. The Chambers Dictionary. 11th ed. Edinburgh: Chambers Harrap.
2) The Chambers Dictionary. Marr, V (ed.). 2008. Edinburgh: Chambers Harrap.
There is single "correct" way. If writing material in connection with academic study or for publication you will have access to the relevant style guidance.
@contrex,
I have noted that there many ways to write a given source.
If you know the destination of your material, then you should consult the relevant guidance e.g. that provided by the academic institution (university, college etc).
@Nat093,
We can't answer that question because we don't know what grammatical standards your school or teacher is using.
MLA style guide;
APA Formatting and Style Guide;
The Chicago Manual of Style;
Etc....
Each of the above mentioned style guides have separate and different versions of footnoting, endnotes, and bibliography creation.
