Note that while many journal articles may include volume numbers as well as issue number (e.g. 40.3, 12.1), only the issue number needs to be provided in your bibliography. If you are using an electronic version of a journal article accessed through a platform like JSTOR or Project Muse, list it in the bibliography as if you were using a paper copy. The relevant information will be on the first sheet of the article PDF. Some journals are now only published on-line, and do not have print equivalents. Some of these, like EuGeStA, still provide PDFs as if they were producing a hard copy of the article; if this is the case, then enter it into your bibliography as usual. If, however, this information is not provided, the entry is created like this:
You must include the URL to make sure that your reference can be found again.
Remember: online versions of print publications (books or articles) should be cited as if you had consulted the print publication. Health warning: Websites may contain erroneous information and the source should be checked carefully before citing it as authoritative, as opposed to indicative.
If you cannot find any of the information needed to complete a bibliography entry of this kind, then you may wish to reconsider using the web page as a secondary source in your essay. 18Playing the Examinations Game…to winThis section is designed to offer some advice on • how to prepare for examinations • how to take them Much of the following may sound obvious, but past experience shows all too often how valuable it can be to be told the obvious, just one more time. So bear with it... Remember: DON’T PANIC You can save yourself a lot of worry and indeed give yourself more confidence by PLANNING BEFOREHAND. Here are a few ideas on how you might like to prepare for the ordeal. 18.1Revision Timetable• Find out the dates and times of the exams as early as you can. You will be sent a timetable from Registry. • Draw a table of dates on which to map out your revision programme. • As regards the programme: - don’t lump each subject’s revision all together. If you were to decide, say, to devote one week per subject, you might well find that you go into the exams well-primed for subject no. 3, which you did most recently, but have forgotten subjects nos. 1 and 2. - try doing a little revision for each subject each week. [This is especially important for language options, which very soon become rusty.] There are several advantages of this system: a) the variety will help to keep it all much fresher in your mind; b) you will start to see how your syllabus options interrelate. • Always leave some blank days throughout your programme. You know how often a friend turns up out of the blue to stay, or you get invited to a party...and then things begin to slide. You can avoid being short of time when it really matters by planning ahead for those “unforeseen circumstances”.
