Marking down the Sources

How is the sources marked down to the books (list of sources) by the researchers in Western Europe? Here in Finland I have learned to use following template.

[1] Surname, First Letter from First Name. Year. Title. Publisher, Place of Printing. Here would be page number or something else, comments etc.

[1] Pajari, R. 1982. Jatkosota Ilmassa. WSOY, Porvoo. Pg. 256.

Hard maybe but a very sensible attitude I think. Internet sources would not be quite as reliable as finding the actual article I assume, anyway actually tracking the printed article down show you are willing to work to get what you want which helps with the marking of your work when you’re an academic.

In my degree, we did pretty much the same in our Bibliography. I don’t remember putting the place of printing. We did put the ISBN number.

For magazine articles we named the journalist, the publication, date and issue number, page numbers(s).

For internet we named the “Claimed” author, date of article, date of search, web address. But we tried to avoid using the net in the Bibliography, far better to find the article referenced on the net…then find the real article in the library and reference that. Quite hard sometimes.
