ACU Library guide to referencing using AGLC4

AGLC4

The Australian Guide to Legal Citation 4 (AGLC4) is the standard referencing style for legal citations in Australia. 

This guide is designed to help you:

  • Apply the correct AGLC4 format to different types of resources.
  • Check your citations against examples.
  • Understand the principles of citing and referencing in AGLC4 style.

Key components of AGLC4

1. Footnote Citations

Footnote citations demonstrate how your work is influenced by others and help you avoid plagiarism. These are added as footnotes in your document, with the format varying depending on the source type.

2. Bibliography

A bibliography lists all the sources cited in your work. It is placed on a new page at the end of your assignment and must follow a specific format outlined in AGLC4.
