The four elements of a reference

A reference list entry usually has four elements: author, date, title, source. Each element answers a question:

Author: Who is responsible for this work?

Date: When was this work published?

Title: What is this work called?

Source: Where can I retrieve this work?

Identifying these four elements and answering these four questions will help you create a reference for any source, even if you do not have an example which exactly matches your source.
