Create a spot-on reference in ISO 690:2021
What is ISO 690:2021 (BS ISO 690:2021)?
ISO 690:2021 is an international standard entitled ‘Information and documentation -- Guidelines for bibliographic references and citations to information resources’. The standard is used widely as a citation style for creating bibliographic references to sources in articles, theses, and other scientific publications.
ISO 690:2021 is the 4th and latest edition of the ISO 690 standard that supersedes the previous edition – ISO 690:2010.
BS ISO 690:2021 is the official version of the standard adopted in the United Kingdom.
What are the specifics of ISO 690:2021?
Just as its previous edition, the 4th version of ISO 690 dated 2021 provides the general guidelines for the creation of bibliographic references instead of offering detailed rules for individual source types.
The newest edition features more extensive examples of the different formats that can be applied to the bibliographic references and describes which elements should be provided in a reference and an in-text citation and in which order.
At the same time, it should be noted that ISO 690:2021 introduces a number of major changes and updates compared to ISO 690:2010, including in terms of the number of authors to be included in a reference, order of contributors, order of other elements, and punctuation.
