There are several specific citation guides and referencing tools which are useful for specific legal references including cases as well as journal articles. Links are provided for OSCOLA and Zotero.

Common legal referencing systems are

• Harvard system: in text with references at end, footnotes provide essential information only, not references
• Chicago/Turabian: full reference in footnotes/ endnotes

Common styles include:

• The Blue book in North America with its Uniform System of Citation  
• Vancouver - see tutorial on Cardiff University Library website: 
• Harvard (in text) referencing -see Cardiff University Library tutorial:   
• Cardiff University Library Services provide a number of resources covering the common referencing styles used in the UK. Their webpage links to videos, interactive tutorials and guides:  

OSCOLA

EIFL recommends the Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA). This means if you follow OSCOLA for all the material you reference in your work, your referencing should be consistent in Myanmar law schools. 

• The Oxford Standard for the Citation of Legal Authorities (OSCOLA)
• The current version is the fourth edition, published in 2012. 
• OSCOLA (4th edn) does not cover International Law. This is available here

Zotero

• Zotero is a free, open-sourced and web based citation manager. It is designed to store, manage, and cite bibliographic references, such as books and articles. It also allows you to attach PDFs, notes and images to your citations, organize them into collections for different projects, and create bibliographies. The OSCOLA style can be found under the 'documentation' tab on the Zotero website.
  Zotero automatically updates itself periodically to work with new online sources and new bibliographic styles.
  Further information, and a video tutorial from the creators, can be found here
  Zotero has a style repository for OSCOLA
