Create a spot-on reference in ABNT
What is ABNT?
ABNT is the short name for ABNT NBR 6023:2018, a Brazilian standard governing the creation of bibliographic references and in-text citations for scholarly papers and other written works. The standard is developed and published by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas).
What are the specifics of ABNT as a referencing standard?
ABNT NBR 6023:2018 is one of the complex standards with detailed rules for the references and citations for different source types. There are different rules applied to different elements of bibliographic entries, and one should memorise when to use the italics, the bold font, what elements should be written in all capitals, and so on.
There are two methods of the ABNT standard: the author-date and the numeric systems. Both assume different approaches to the ordering of sources in a bibliography and to the creation of in-text citations. Moreover, the author-date system may use either in-text citations or footnotes in the text of the work.
