Bibliography help - mentioning a book/article in passing - do I reference?

M

Hi all,

Sorry for the vague title!

Just a quick question about whether to include the following books in my bibliography. Take the following sentence as an example:

--------

There is much scholarly literature regarding the use of empirical research methods in this area (Smith 2010, Boris 2011 and Evans 2013), but none have thus far covered the following points.

--------

Because I have mentioned those three authors and their works within the text, do I then need to include full references in my bibliography, or would it be more appropriate to insert a footnote with the full reference?

Many thanks in advance!

You need to write full reference in bib

This ^. Otherwise your examiners will mark your bibliography as incomplete. You include everything in your bibliography. Every single thing. From books, to websites, to personal communication... even youtube videos (if you have any)!
