In order to ensure consistency in the citations and bibliography in your work, you need a citation style. Reference management programs typically come with a variety of styles by default. If the required style is still missing, the WU Library can create citation styles upon request.
When using these styles, be sure to take into account any institute-specific information and consult your supervisor! Many instutes don’t have their own style – instead, they use one of the “greats” like APA, Chicago or IEEE.
The WU library provides a broad range of citations styles (site in German only).
You can find information about citation using the IBFD style below.
