About MHRA Referencing
MHRA (Modern Humanities Research Association) is the standard citation style for arts and humanities disciplines in UK universities, particularly English literature, history and modern languages. It uses footnote citations plus a bibliography.
Footnotes vs bibliography
The first footnote is a full reference. Subsequent citations to the same source are shortened. A complete bibliography appears at the end, sorted alphabetically by author surname.
Author order
In footnotes, author names appear as First Name Surname. In the bibliography, they appear as Surname, First Name to allow alphabetical ordering.
Punctuation
Publication details (place, publisher, year) appear in parentheses. Titles of books are italicised; articles and chapters are in single quotation marks.
